Companies that benchmark against COLB
20 companies name COLB as a compensation peer

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