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

Each company listed discloses PRTS 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 PRTS 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 — “Abstentions are not considered votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.”.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on this proposal.”.

c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposal and will therefore have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.”.

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.
