“Executive compensation at Thompson is established by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The committee uses an independent company to gather comparable data in determining compensation levels for the President/CEO and Senior level executives. The full Board of Directors is surveyed by the compensation committee on executive performance; this is considered in determining compensation levels. The compensation committee is also involved in goal setting for the CEO, which ties back to his performance reviews and incentive compensation rates. The year in which this process was last undertaken for each person was 2015.”
