Oil States International (OIS)

Companies that benchmark against OIS
23 companies name OIS as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses OIS 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 OIS 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 philosophy is to design a compensation package that provides competitive base salary levels and compensation incentives that attract and retain individuals of outstanding ability, recognize the performance of the Company relative to peers and against budget goals, and support both short-term and long-term strategic goals. The program is designed to closely link executive compensation to the execution of the Company's strategy and the accomplishment of Company goals that coincide with stockholder objectives.

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 Oil States International 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 Oil States International.

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.
