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

Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions will be counted as votes present or represented and entitled to vote on these proposals and will therefore have the same effect as votes "against" these proposals, and broker non-votes will not be considered entitled to vote on these proposals and will therefore have no effect on their outcome.”.
b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions will be counted as votes present or represented and entitled to vote on these proposals and will therefore have the same effect as votes "against" these proposals, and broker non-votes will not be considered entitled to vote on these proposals and will therefore have no effect on their outcome.”.
c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will therefore have no effect o sal at the Annual Meeting (meaning that of the total votes of all outstanding Shares entitled to vote, a majority of them must be voted "for" the proposal for it to be adopted).”.

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.
Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
