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

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

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Gold.com's executive compensation program is based on a 'pay-for-performance' philosophy, providing incentives and appropriate rewards to executives to formulate and execute business plans that achieve long-term success and build stockholder value. The program ties the majority of annual incentive opportunities to pre-tax profits and grants long-term equity awards to attract and retain executives while linking their interests to stockholders.
