New Fortress Energy (NFE)

Companies that benchmark against NFE
1 company names NFE as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses NFE 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 NFE 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.

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Similarly, any abstentions or broker non-votes on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm or the "say-on-pay" proposal will not affect the outcome because abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast.”.

b. Voting standard not stated in the filing.

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.
