The Compensation and Talent Management Committee undertakes an annual review of director compensation and periodically makes adjustments. In 2024, the Committee’s compensation consultant benchmarked the compensation of the Company’s directors against the compensation paid to directors of Digimarc’s peer group. Based on the consultant’s recommendations, no changes to director compensation were made. The Board also maintained the limit of $500,000 on the aggregate value of total annual cash and equity compensation for any non-employee director.
