CoastalSouth Bancshares (COSO)

Fiscal year 2025 executive and director compensation, incentive-plan design, equity activity, and governance — every figure in this brief is traceable to its exact location in the company’s SEC filing — the document, the section, the page, and the table, linked directly.

Companies that benchmark against COSO
1 company names COSO as a compensation peer

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

Equity transactions since the proxy statement was filed

Every insider equity transaction reported on Form 4 after the 2025 proxy statement — acquisitions, dispositions, exercises, and withholdings — and therefore not reflected in any table in that document.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Specifically, the Company incorporates a peer-based approach in our executive compensation program to align compensation with performance. Competitive compensation data from peer companies is used as a reference point for making decisions about overall executive compensation and specific compensation components. We also consider distinct circumstances not reflected in the peer data, such as unique job descriptions or responsibilities, and the impact that a particular officer may have on our ability to meet our goals.

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.
