Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The primary goal of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program is to attract, retain, and motivate talented individuals capable of fulfilling their responsibilities and guiding the Company toward achieving its strategic objectives. Given the highly cyclical and volatile nature of the industry, the Committee believes the program should maintain flexibility and incorporate a significant emphasis on long-term performance.

Peer group, and who names Pangaea Logistics Solutions as a peer

Companies that benchmark against PANL

3 companies name PANL as a compensation peer

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

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.

Each peer’s compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer’s figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
