Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Columbia Financial's compensation program is designed to reward performance based on core financial measures, specifically adjusting GAAP net income for non-core items to ensure executives are compensated for core performance rather than unusual gains or charges. The program aligns executive pay with total stockholder return, net income, and Bank Level Non-GAAP Core ROAA.

Peer group, and who names Columbia Financial as a peer

Companies that benchmark against CLBK

8 companies name CLBK as a compensation peer

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