What are the Long Term Performance Cash Awards (LTIP Cash Awards) and why are they being reported now?

The LTIP Cash Awards are performance-based bonuses tied to the 2018-2020 performance cycle for PACCAR's Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee approved these awards on April 26, 2021, and they are being reported as part of the total compensation for these executives, recalculating figures previously reported in the proxy statement.

What is the significance of the CEO pay ratio disclosed in this filing?

The CEO pay ratio of 111 to 1 shows the relationship between the compensation of PACCAR's CEO and the median employee. This disclosure is a regulatory requirement intended to provide transparency regarding executive compensation relative to the broader employee base. It helps investors understand the company's compensation philosophy and distribution.

What were the key outcomes of the annual stockholder meeting?

The annual stockholder meeting on April 27, 2021, resulted in the election of all nominated directors. Additionally, a significant outcome was the passage of a stockholder proposal to eliminate supermajority voting provisions, meaning future proposals will likely require only a simple majority to pass, rather than a higher threshold.

How was the median employee compensation determined?

PACCAR identified its median employee by considering its global employee population of approximately 23,000 as of October 1, 2020. Compensation was annualized for employees not employed for the full preceding nine-month period. The total compensation of the median employee for fiscal year 2020 was calculated to be $78,950, consistent with regulatory requirements.
