What This 2022 Filing Tells Us About Whitestone REIT
According to the 2022 DEF 14A proxy statement filed with the SEC, Whitestone REIT (WSR, CIK 1175535) reported CEO 's total compensation at $1.7M. That figure is an aggregate of base salary (N/A). The median employee at the firm — the reference point mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act — earned $92,258 over the same fiscal year, producing the headline CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 18:1 that this page tracks.
Context matters when reading this ratio. Whitestone REIT operates in the Holding & Investment Offices sector and is headquartered in TX. Across the Holding & Investment Offices industry (SIC 67), 87 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2023, with a median of 50:1 and an average of 81:1. Median industry CEO pay was $6.9M, so Whitestone REIT's $1.7M sits at or below that typical figure. That comparison is the fastest way to separate "the CEO is paid like peers" from "this company is an outlier."
Finally, a note on what these SEC numbers do and do not include. Total compensation reported under Item 402 of Regulation S-K reflects grant-date fair value for equity awards, not realized pay, so a CEO may eventually cash in more — or less — depending on stock performance and vesting. The pay ratio itself is calculated against a single median employee chosen under rules that allow statistical sampling, and companies may update methodology year to year. This proxy was filed on 2023-03-31; all figures on this page come directly from that public filing and can be verified against the DEF 14A on the SEC EDGAR system.
