Companies that benchmark against AOMR
1 company names AOMR as a compensation peer

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.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

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.
