Companies that benchmark against ASIX
3 companies name ASIX as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses ASIX 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 ASIX 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 executive compensation and benefit programs are designed to support the creation of stockholder value through four key objectives: attract and retain world-class leadership talent, drive performance that creates stockholder value, pay for superior results and sustainable performance, and manage risk through oversight and sound management. We seek to achieve the optimal balance between fixed and variable pay, short-term and long-term pay, and cash and equity-based elements.

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies AdvanSix 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.
