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

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" on the vote to ratify the independent public accounting firm and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers because an abstention represents a share entitled to vote on such proposal.”.
b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" on the vote to ratify the independent public accounting firm, the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, and the Exculpation Amendment because an abstention represents a share entitled to vote on such proposal.”.
c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Accordingly, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the vote for any matter properly introduced at the Special Meeting.”.
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.

Each peer's compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer's figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
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.
