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 ICE 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 ICE in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Our executive compensation philosophy is to link compensation with individual achievement, the Company's performance, and stockholder value creation. This philosophy manifests itself in the following four primary objectives: attract, retain and reward executive officers capable of achieving our business objectives; offer competitive compensation opportunities that reward individual contribution and Company performance; align the interests of executive officers and stockholders over the long-term; and provide total compensation that is commensurate with the performance achieved and value created for stockholders.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “An abstention from voting on this matter will have the same effect as a vote "against" this matter.”.
c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “However, since an abstention is not treated as a vote "for" or "against" the election of any nominee, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.”.
Approval percentages are the company's own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.

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