Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The executive compensation strategy is guided by four core principles: alignment to stakeholders, performance focus, competitiveness, and simplicity/transparency. The primary objectives are to attract, retain, and motivate executives capable of advancing the Company's mission and to reward them in a manner aligned with the Company's financial performance.

Clawback policyThe Board adopted a clawback policy in November 2023 in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules, providing for mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded excess incentive-based compensation in the event of an accounting restatement.
Anti-hedgingThe Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors, executive officers, and certain designated employees from engaging in hedging, short sales, trading in publicly traded put or call options, or trading on margin involving Company securities.
Anti-pledgingThe Insider Trading Policy requires pre-notification if directors, executive officers, or certain designated employees wish to pledge Company securities. As of December 31, 2025, no shares were pledged by directors and executive officers.

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

TGT Target Threshold
10a

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies ARKO Corp names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.

Reciprocity shown where the peer's own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer's filing. A dash means the peer's current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including ARKO Corp.

10b

Chief executive pay against the peer group

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.

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.
