WORLD KINECT CORP

We believe our business model is unique and that there are few, if any, companies of a similar size and complexity engaged globally in all of our lines of business. During 2022, the Compensation Committee engaged with its independent compensation consultant to revise the compensation comparison group by drawing from the companies in the industry sectors listed above, along with those considered peers by proxy advisory groups, and peers of peers—with a specific focus on companies in our GICS sector, Energy. The Compensation Committee also took into account the companies’ relative financial size (with a specific focus on net income and market capitalization). The compensation comparison group for 2023, shown in the chart below, is unchanged from the prior year, with the exception of the exclusion of Renewable Energy Group due to its acquisition by Chevron in June 2022 and the replacement of HollyFrontier Corporation with HF Sinclair Corporation, its parent company.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee used data derived from the revised compensation comparison companies group shown above to inform its decisions about NEO compensation including amounts, design and mix of pay components. Although the Compensation Committee believes comparison compensation and performance data can be useful, it does not believe that any comparison group company, whose composition is based solely on our industry classification, revenues, net income and/or market capitalization, is fully reflective of the markets in which we compete for talent. Consequently, the Compensation Committee does not set the executives’ target total direct compensation (“TDC”), or any of the target components of such compensation, at any specific percentile of the comparison group. Rather, it more generally considers, as part of the overall compensation discussion, base salary, as well as the target and actual short- and long-term incentive compensation of the NEOs against the 50th percentile of the comparison group. For 2024, the Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of its independent compensation consultant, relied on the same compensation comparison group of companies.
