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

The executive compensation philosophy is focused on 'pay for performance,' aiming to reward NEOs for attaining market or above-market financial results, achieving strategic goals, and increasing long-term shareholder value. The program is designed to motivate superior financial and operational performance, align executive interests with long-term shareholder value creation, and attract and retain key talent.
