Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Executive compensation policies are designed to attract, retain, and motivate key executives through competitive and cost-effective programs that reinforce accountability and reward business and individual results. The program links pay to performance by providing a substantial percentage of compensation in the form of performance-based variable compensation, with long-term incentive compensation being the largest component to align executive interests with shareholders.

Peer group, and who names Trinseo as a peer

Companies that benchmark against TSE

2 companies name TSE as a compensation peer

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

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

Peer reciprocity

The companies Trinseo PLC names as compensation peers that name it back in their own disclosed peer groups.

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.
