Pay Versus performance

The following table and supporting graphics below set out information regarding fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 in satisfaction of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s compensation programs have a history of aligning pay and performance. This is demonstrated in the Company selected measure listed below: Cumulative Cash from Operations, which focuses on the importance of cash generation from core operations and, on a cumulative basis, serves as a performance metric for the Performance Stock Unit Program—the largest component of executive officer compensation; together with the additional financial and non-financial measures which make up the components of our short-term and long-term incentive programs. For detail on the Company’s executive compensation programs, see the CD&A section beginning on page 55. In this section, PEO means “Principal Executive Officer,” SCT means “Summary Compensation Table,” and CAP means “compensation actually paid.”

Totals in the above table might not equal the summation of the columns due to rounding amounts to the nearest dollar.

(1)
For 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the PEO was Jim Fitterling. The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Fitterling for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the SCT.
(2)
The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of CAP to the PEO computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the PEO during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the PEO’s total compensation for each year to determine the CAP:

The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the SCT for each applicable year. The value of dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards are reflected in the value of the award in the SCT for each applicable year.
(ii)
The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” column of the SCT for each applicable year.
(iii)
The equity award and pension benefit adjustments for each applicable year were calculated in accordance with the methodology required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Total Pension Benefit Adjustments are equal to the Pension Service Costs incurred during the relevant period. No Prior Service Costs were incurred as no modifications were made to the pension plan during the relevant period. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments for the PEO are provided in the table below.

The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) in the “Total” column of the SCT in each applicable year. For 2020, the Non-PEO NEOs were Howard Ungerleider, Peter Holicki, A. N. Sreeram and Amy E. Wilson. For 2021, the Non-PEO NEOs were Howard Ungerleider, John M. Sampson, A. N. Sreeram and Amy E. Wilson. For 2022, the Non-PEO NEOs were Howard Ungerleider, Karen S. Carter, A. N. Sreeram and Jane Palmieri. For 2023, the Non-PEO NEOs were Howard Ungerleider, Jeffrey L. Tate, John M. Sampson, A. N. Sreeram and Amy E. Wilson. For 2024, the Non-PEO NEOs are Jeffrey L. Tate, John M. Sampson, A. N. Sreeram, Amy E. Wilson and Mauro Gregorio.
(4)
The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the Non-PEO NEOs as a group, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the Non-PEO NEOs as a group during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the Non-PEO NEOs as a group for each year to determine the compensation actually paid:

For 2020 and 2021, the Company utilized the S&P 500 Chemicals Index. The dollar value in this column for 2020 and 2021 reflects the S&P 500 Chemicals Index TSR. In 2022, the Company selected a custom financial peer group for purposes of its TSR benchmarking for the pay versus performance disclosures and on a go forward basis (the “Peer Group”). The Peer Group TSR for 2020 and 2021 are $115 and $118, respectively. The constituents of the Peer Group are publicly traded companies that more closely correlate to Dow’s business at the enterprise level. The Peer Group is comprised of: Arkema SA, BASF Corporation, Covestro AG, Eastman Chemical Company, Huntsman Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., and Wacker Chemie AG. The cumulative TSR depicts a hypothetical $100 investment in Dow common stock on December 31, 2019, and shows the value of that investment over time (assuming the reinvestment of dividends) for each calendar year. A hypothetical $100 investment in the Peer Group using the same methodology is shown for comparison. Source: S&P Capital IQ.

Presented in millions. The dollar value in this column reflects cash from operations for that calendar year. Cumulative Cash from Operations under the Company’s Performance Stock Unit Program is calculated by aggregating cash from operations for each calendar year for a three year period for the relevant performance period as described in the section titled “Long-Term Incentive Compensation” in the CD&A.

The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of CAP to the PEO computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the PEO during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the PEO’s total compensation for each year to determine the CAP:
