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

Executive compensation is directly linked to Company performance while remaining competitive relative to peers. The program aims to promote short- and long-term business strategies, align executive interests with stockholders by placing a substantial portion of total compensation at risk, and mitigate risk through plan design and clawback provisions.

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Of the companies EQUITY BANCSHARES INC 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 EQUITY BANCSHARES INC.
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.

Read from each company's Compensation Discussion and Analysis: annual incentive payout as a percentage of target, the disclosed long-term vehicle mix, whether performance-share measures include a total shareholder return component, and the retained compensation consultant. “Not disclosed” appears only where the company's filing does not state the item.
Answers are drawn only from the figures disclosed in this brief and cited to their location in the source filing. Where a figure required for an answer is not disclosed, that is stated rather than estimated.
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.
