Companies that benchmark against CBSH
26 companies name CBSH as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses CBSH 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 CBSH in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “How are votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes treated? If your shares are held in street name, unless you provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee, your shares will not be voted on Proposals One or Three.”.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “On Proposal Four (approval of the Company's executive compensation), abstentions will be treated as votes against Proposal Four.”.

c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “On Proposal Three (approval of the Company's executive compensation), abstentions will be treated as votes against such matters.”.

Approval percentages are the company's own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Commerce Bancshares Inc 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 Commerce Bancshares Inc.
