Fiscal year 2026 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.
Each company listed discloses UHAL 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 UHAL in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to retain current executive officers, encourage self-development and magnification of functional responsibilities, and attract qualified individuals. The program aims to foster an environment of teamwork, loyalty, and fairness, with compensation levels generally commensurate with historic pay for the position, adjusted for tenure and performance, rather than tied to specific performance metrics or peer benchmarks.

Each peer's compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer's figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
