Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The Compensation Committee endeavors to provide compensation arrangements that are reasonable given the company’s size, the nature of its business and the executive’s duties; align pay with creating shareholder value; minimize risky behavior; and reward the executive for his/her contribution to achieving our business goals. Given the nature of our business, the small number of executives and the significant ownership held by Mr. Strange, the Compensation Committee believes that a straight-forward compensation plan that is economical to administer and that consists of a reasonable base salary and appropriate periodic bonuses is appropriate for the company.

Peer group, and who names CoreCard as a peer
Companies that benchmark against CCRD
6 companies name CCRD as a compensation peer
- CANTALOUPE, INC.CTLPFY2025
- DHI GROUP, INC.DHXFY2025
- Forge Global Holdings, Inc.FRGEFY2024
- OptimizeRx CorpOPRXFY2025
- SOUNDTHINKING, INC.SSTIFY2025
- STEM, INC.STEMFY2025
Each company listed discloses CCRD 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 CCRD in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2024
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Peer reciprocity
Of the companies CoreCard 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 CoreCard Corp.
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.

| 4 | CoreCard Corp | 2024 | J. Leland Strange | 500,000 | 152,688 | 0 | 0 | 906,669 |
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.
