John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. (JMSB)

Companies that benchmark against JMSB
2 companies name JMSB as a compensation peer

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

Equity transactions since the proxy statement was filed

Every insider equity transaction reported on Form 4 after the 2025 proxy statement — acquisitions, dispositions, exercises, and withholdings — and therefore not reflected in any table in that document.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Committee believes that total compensation for executive officers (base salary, short-term and long-term compensation) should vary based on the Company's performance and return to shareholders, and should be generally consistent relative to performance against the Company's peers.
