SALARY AND BONUS IN PROPORTION TO TOTAL COMPENSATION
 
The Committee reviews the aggregate of the base salary and annual bonus for each of our Named Officers and compares such totals to the corresponding amounts paid to similarly situated executive officers of our peer companies (taking into consideration their market capitalization compared to EOG’s market capitalization). Under our compensation program, the value of the combined base salary and annual bonus for each of our Named Officers is approximately 19% to 48% of their total respective compensation, which is generally less than the corresponding percentages of base salary and annual bonus compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers of a majority of our peer companies. The Committee has determined that this weighted proportion is in the best interests of EOG because it is consistent with the Committee’s belief that our compensation program should be tied in part to our stock price performance so as to align our Named Officers’ interests with those of our stockholders.

Under our compensation program, the value of the combined base salary and annual bonus for each of our Named Officers is approximately 26% to 49% of their total compensation, which is generally less than the corresponding percentages of base salary and annual bonus compensation paid to the executive officers of a majority of our peer companies.
