Each company listed discloses AOMR in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named AOMR in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Our Compensation Committee believes that our stockholders' substantial approval indicated strong support for our approach to executive compensation. Our Compensation Committee will continue to consider stockholder feedback and the outcome of our stockholder say-on-pay votes when making future NEO compensation decisions. As a result of such strong support, we have largely maintained the same compensation framework and design for fiscal year 2025.

Each peer's compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer's figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
Answers are drawn only from the figures disclosed in this brief and cited to their location in the source filing. Where a figure required for an answer is not disclosed, that is stated rather than estimated.
Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
