Companies that benchmark against IIIN
10 companies name IIIN as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses IIIN 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 IIIN 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

Insteel's executive compensation program emphasizes performance-based compensation, with a significant portion of total compensation composed of equity-based long-term incentive compensation.
