Peer group, and who names First Community as a peer

Companies that benchmark against FCCO

1 company names FCCO as a compensation peer

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

    Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

    The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

    Peer reciprocity

    The companies First Community names as compensation peers that name it back in their own disclosed peer groups.
