Companies that benchmark against MGRC
5 companies name MGRC as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses MGRC 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 MGRC 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

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain exceptional talent and reward performance by establishing measurable objectives to drive future performance, aligning executive officers' interests with those of shareholders. The program focuses on rewarding the achievement of specific annual, long-term, and strategic goals that contribute to increased long-term shareholder value, with a significant percentage of total compensation allocated to 'at-risk' performance-based incentives.

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

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

10a

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Mcgrath Rentcorp 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 Mcgrath Rentcorp.

10b

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.
