Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (SYBT)

Companies that benchmark against SYBT
38 companies name SYBT as a compensation peer

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

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. 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 Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc..

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.
