This comparable compensation information is developed or obtained by a qualified, experienced and independent compensation consultant, who provides a report and opinion to the committee regarding the reasonableness of the proposed compensation levels in light of the external data. The minutes of the committee reflect and document the decisions, including the analysis and data considered by the committee.
