168 figures on this page, cited to the filing that reported them. See the citations

Brady does not file an annual proxy statement (DEF 14A). Its executive compensation is disclosed directly in its Form 10-K (Part III), which is the filing cited throughout this document. A Form 10-K does not carry a say-on-pay vote; those sections are absent from this document for that reason, not from a data gap.
