Companies that benchmark against P
9 companies name P as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses P 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 P 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 designs its executive compensation program to attract and retain outstanding talent, motivate behavior that exceeds corporate performance objectives, and ensure compensation is meaningfully tied to stockholder value creation. It emphasizes a pay-for-performance philosophy with a robust mix of short-term and long-term incentives, where equity compensation is the primary incentive element and is 100% performance-based for annual awards.

CEO STI target (% of salary)NaN%
CEO LTI target (% of salary)—
Independent consultantMeridian Compensation Partners
Clawback policyThe company has adopted a policy requiring recoupment of excess incentive compensation paid to current and former Section 16 officers where payments were predicated on financial results subject to a restatement, in compliance with NYSE listing standards and SEC Section 10D rules.
Anti-hedgingThe insider trading policy prohibits directors, officers, employees, and consultants from engaging in hedging transactions, short sales, or other speculative transactions with respect to company equity securities.
Anti-pledgingThe insider trading policy prohibits directors, officers, employees, and consultants from pledging company securities.
