, his or her compensation history, unvested equity awards held by the individual or awards under consideration, the scope of the individual's responsibilities, the recent and expected future performance of the Company or the individual's business unit and negotiations with the individual. In its deliberations, the Committee receives information and proposals relating to compensation from management and consults with A-Mark's outside counsel. Our CEO makes recommendations regarding the compensation of other executive officers. The Committee has explored the possibility of identifying a group of peer companies for benchmarking executive compensation, but found no public companies with businesses closely matching A-Mark's, and very few public companies with somewhat comparable lines of business and financial characteristics - particularly market capitalization - reasonably comparable to A-Mark. Therefore, the Committee has not specifically benchmarked the compensation of our executives against the compensation practices at an identified group of peer companies. The Committee has reviewed compensation survey information and compensation information on specific public companies as general information on executive compensation practices.

We believe that making a high percentage of our senior NEOs’ compensation dependent on Company or business unit performance ensures that they focus on meeting our strategic goals. By tying a high percentage of such potential compensation directly to business results, our senior executives benefit when good performance is actually achieved, consistent with our "pay-for-performance" philosophy. The elements of our compensation program are shown below.
