Tyra Biosciences (TYRA)

Fiscal year 2025 executive and director compensation, incentive-plan design, equity activity, and governance — every figure in this brief is traceable to its exact location in the company’s SEC filing — the document, the section, the page, and the table, linked directly.

Companies that benchmark against TYRA
5 companies name TYRA as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses TYRA 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 TYRA 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.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The company's compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and motivate talented executives through a combination of fixed base salary, annual performance-based cash bonuses tied to pre-established corporate goals, and equity-based incentive awards that align executive interests with stockholder interests. Base salaries are set at competitive levels reflecting each executive's skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities.
