(a)
Mr. Fritz, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, served as our principal executive officer (PEO) for 2020, 2021, and 2022, and until August 14, 2023, when Mr. Vena became the CEO. The Other NEOs represent the following individuals for each of the years shown: Ms. Hamann, Ms. Whited, Mr. Rocker, and Mr. Gehringer for 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021; and Mr. Vena (in his capacity as our then Chief Operating Officer), Ms. Hamann, Ms. Whited and Mr. Rocker for 2020.
(b)
The peer group index is the Dow Jones Transportation Index, which is included in Item 5 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(c)
Net income and operating income for 2022 reflect a $92 million one-time charge for the labor agreements reached with our labor unions. Net income and operating income for 2020 reflect a $278 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Brazos yard investment.
(d)
CAP is defined by the SEC to include not only actual take-home pay for the reported year, but also (i) the year-end value of equity awards granted during the reported year, and (ii) the change in the value of equity awards that were unvested at the end of the prior year, measured through the date such awards vested or were forfeited, or through the end of the reported fiscal year. To calculate CAP, the following amounts were deducted from and added to the applicable executives’ “total compensation” as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT). No adjustments were made to Mr. Vena’s 2023 total compensation for purposes of calculating his 2023 CAP.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return    
CAP versus TSR
As shown in the chart below, the PEO’s CAP and Other NEOs’ Average CAP amounts are directionally aligned with the Company’s TSR. This is due primarily to the Company’s use of equity incentives, the value of which moves in line with our TSR, in addition to the Company’s financial performance. The Other NEOs’ Average CAP in 2020 also reflects the compensation of a more senior executive who ceased to serve as one of the Other NEOs in 2021. The Other NEO’s Average CAP increased in 2023 and 2024 due primarily to changes in the Company’s stock price and the election of Ms. Whited as the Company’s President. The PEO’s CAP in 2024 reflects Mr. Vena’s first full year of service as the CEO.
        
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income    
CAP versus Net Income
The Company’s net income increased in 2021, 2022 and 2024, and decreased in 2023, while the PEO and Other NEOs’ CAP has varied significantly each year. This is due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on equity incentives, the value of which are affected by our TSR. In addition, the Company does not use net income to determine compensation levels or incentive plan payouts.
       
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure    
CAP versus Operating Income – Company-Selected Measure (CSM)
Operating income and operating ratio (of which operating income is a component) are equally weighted financial measures used in our annual incentive plan, as described in our CD&A. In addition, performance stock units awarded to our NEOs are earned based one-third (1/3) on operating income growth (OIG). The Company’s operating income has steadily increased year-over-year, except for 2023, although its impact on the PEO’s and Other NEO’s CAP has been muted or offset by other performance measures and by changes in the Company’s stock price.
       
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group    
TSR: Company versus Peer Group
The following chart presents the cumulative total shareholder return, assuming reinvestment of dividends, over the 5-year period for the Company (UNP) and the Dow Jones Transportation Index (DJ Trans). As the table demonstrates, the Company’s 5-year cumulative TSR is generally aligned with our peer group index.

Most Important Measures to Determine 2024 CAP
