Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
The compensation committee awards discretionary cash and/or equity-based bonuses that take into consideration individual performance, contribution to corporate goals, and prior voluntary base salary reductions. Base salaries are evaluated against a peer group and set below the 50th percentile, while equity awards are granted to align executive interests with long-term company objectives.

Peer group, and who names PARKERVISION as a peer
Companies that benchmark against PRKR
1 company names PRKR as a compensation peer
- RESEARCH FRONTIERS INCREFRFY2025
Each company listed discloses PRKR 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 PRKR 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.
