Peer group, and who names LiveOne as a peer
Companies that benchmark against LVO
1 company names LVO as a compensation peer
- Inspired Entertainment, Inc.INSEFY2025
Each company listed discloses LVO 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 LVO in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Chief executive pay against the peer group
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
