Director Independence
Director Independence The Board has affirmatively determined that Philip L. Bronner, Phyllis R. Caldwell, Toos N. Daruvala, Roy A. Guthrie, Andrew D. Macdonald, and Richard A. Smith qualify as independent under Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance listing standards. The Board also has affirmatively determined that, if elected by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Christopher A. Halmy will qualify as independent under Section 303A.02 of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. In making its independence determinations, the Board considers the specific tests for independence included in NYSE listing standards. The Board considers whether directors or director nominees, as applicable, have a material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of directors. When assessing materiality, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including transactions between the Company and the director or director nominee, as applicable, family members of directors or director nominees, as applicable, and organizations with which the director or director nominee, as applicable, is affiliated. The Board further considers the frequency of and dollar amounts associated with these transactions and whether the transactions were in the ordinary course of business and were consummated on terms and conditions similar to those with unrelated parties. In affirmatively determining the independence of any director or director nominee, as applicable, who will serve on the Compensation Committee, the Board also specifically considers factors relevant to determining whether a director or director nominee, as applicable, has a relationship to the Company that is material to that director’s or director nominee’s, as applicable, ability to be independent from management in making judgments about the Company’s executive compensation, including sources of the director’s compensation and relationships of the director or director nominee, as applicable, to the Company or senior management.
Selection of Director Nominees
Selection of Director Nominees The NCG Committee conducts the initial screening and evaluates individual directors at least annually, and the full Board retains responsibility for nominating members for election to the Board. We regularly assess the composition of our Board and consider the results as part of our assessment process and nomination process. As provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, director nominees, including those directors eligible to stand for reelection, are selected based on, among other things, the following factors:
Selection of Director Nominees
| •whether the nominee has demonstrated, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make meaningful contributions to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Company; •the nominee’s reputation for honesty and ethical conduct in his or her personal and professional activities; •the nominee’s experiences, skills and expertise; •personal characteristics; •the nominee’s business judgment; •the nominee’s impact on the composition of the Board; •requirements of applicable laws and NYSE listing standards; •the nominee’s time availability and dedication; and •the nominee’s potential conflicts of interest. |
Selection of Director Nominees
The NCG Committee recommends the nomination of directors who represent different qualities and attributes and a mix of professional and personal backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and oversight of our business and strategy. When evaluating director candidates, the NCG Committee may consider a candidate’s specific experiences and skills, expertise, diversity (including diversity of thought, educational and professional background), personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, competing time commitments, dedication, conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the NCG Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board. We are committed to regular Board refreshment. Following the Annual Meeting, five directors will have departed since the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and, assuming Mr. Halmy is elected by stockholders, five new independent directors will have joined the Board during this period. We provide new directors with a director orientation program to familiarize such directors with, among other things, our business, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, compliance programs, conflicts policies, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines, executive officers, internal auditors, and independent auditors. In conducting the screening and evaluation of potential director nominees, the NCG Committee considers candidates recommended by directors and the Company’s management, as well as recommendations from Company stockholders. Our Bylaws include procedures for stockholders to nominate candidates to serve on the Board for election at any Annual Meeting or at any special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors. As a result, the NCG Committee has not implemented a separate policy with regard to such procedures since stockholders may submit recommendations for director candidates by following the procedures set forth in the Bylaws. It is the general policy of the Company, as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, that no director having attained the age of 75 years will stand for reelection. In connection with each director nomination recommendation, the NCG Committee also considers the tenure of the director nominee.
Director Compensation
Director Compensation Non-Employee Director Compensation We pay compensation to certain of our non-employee directors for their service as members of the Board and its committees. In 2024, our directors received compensation as set forth in the chart below.
Director Compensation
| Director Compensation Program | ($) | | Annual Cash Retainer | 85,000 | | RSU Grant | 155,000 | | Lead Independent Director Retainer | 100,000 | | Chair Retainer for Audit Committee Chair | 30,000 | | Chair Retainer for Compensation Committee, Compliance Committee, and Risk Committee Chairs | 25,000 | | Chair Retainer for NCG Committee Chair | 20,000 | | Retainer for Audit Committee Member | 15,000 | | Retainer for Compensation Committee, Compliance Committee, NCG Committee, and Risk Committee Member | 10,000 |
Director Compensation
Fees to non-employee directors may be paid in cash or, in lieu of cash, by issuances of Company common stock. We make annual grants of RSUs during the first quarter of each calendar year that vest on the first business day of the year following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service through the vesting date. RSUs are credited with dividend equivalents equal to the per share cash dividends paid on our common stock, multiplied by the total number of RSUs subject to the award that are outstanding on the record date for such dividend. The crediting of dividend equivalents is meant to treat the RSU award holders consistently with stockholders. Cash retainers for annual Board, Lead Independent Director, committee chair, and committee member service are paid in quarterly installments. Stock grants are reviewed and approved annually. In general, non-employee directors’ cash and equity-based awards under the OneMain Holdings, Inc. Amended 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”) are capped at $500,000 during any calendar year. The Board is also authorized, at its discretion, to provide certain non-employee directors with a retainer or other fee, grant, or payment for service on a special purpose committee or for any other special service. The Compensation Committee believes that these restrictions represent meaningful limits on the compensation payable to our non-employee directors. All members of the Board are also reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending Board or committee meetings or other Company business. The Compensation Committee periodically undertakes a review of non-employee director compensation. The most recent review was completed in early 2024. As a result of this review, effective January 2024, the Board approved increases in the annual cash retainer to $85,000 and the annual RSU grant to $155,000 for non-employee directors, to more appropriately reflect the responsibilities and time commitment associated with Board service and better align with the median of peer practices. No other changes to our director compensation program were made at this time.

Director Stock Ownership Policy Our Director Stock Ownership Policy, which is administered by the Compensation Committee, aligns the interests of our non-employee directors with those of our stockholders by encouraging significant stock ownership in the Company by our non-employee directors. Pursuant to such policy, each non-employee director must at all times hold shares of Company common stock with a value equal to five times the cash retainer for such director’s annual Board service, excluding retainer fees for Board committee chair or committee member service. Non-employee directors have five years from the date they commence service on the Board to satisfy the requirements of such policy. As of the date of this proxy statement, Roy A. Guthrie and Richard A. Smith, the only non-employee directors who have been in service for at least five years, are in compliance with the Director Stock Ownership Policy.

Our management team focused on managing the core loan business through continued economic uncertainty and providing access to credit and support for our customers. In addition, our management team focused in 2024 on the following strategic priorities and investments: •managing production and credit through a challenging economic environment; •managing operating expenses and achieving agreed-upon cost savings in 2024; •continuing disciplined investments in, and development of, new products; •building upon our data analytics and leveraging new technologies to further enhance our industry-leading underwriting and to interact with customers more seamlessly; •being the employer of choice for our team members and focusing on our reputation and customer experience; and •advancing our best-in-class funding and investing strategy to operate effectively in both good and challenging times. Advancing these strategic priorities aligned with the focus areas of the qualitative component of our annual incentive compensation program, which included managing production and credit as discussed above, managing operating expenses with planned reductions in operation cost, continuing investing in new products and our omni-channel platform, investing in analytics, data, and cloud capabilities, continuing to be the employer of choice for our team members and focusing on our external reputation, and advancing funding and investor strategy. Following the end of the year, the Committee determined actual annual and long-term incentive awards for the NEOs based on an assessment of the achievement of the financial and qualitative performance goals set at the beginning of the fiscal year. Select Highlights for 2024 Include: •Grew our Consumer and Insurance segment (“C&I”) Managed Receivables (“Managed Receivables”)* by 11% to approximately $24.7 billion and had approximately $685 million of Capital Generation*, allowing us to continue to invest in our future while also returning significant capital to our stockholders •Continued our disciplined BrightWay credit card rollout and expansion of secured lending distribution channels, including the purchase and integration of Foursight Capital LLC (“Foursight”), and made further investments in digital, data science, and new products and channels •Grew our customer accounts by 15% to a total of 3.4 million customer accounts •Issued $3.9 billion in funding, including $2.4 billion from offerings of high-yield bonds and $1.1 billion in 7-year asset-backed securities •Returned $533 million in capital to our stockholders via dividend payments and repurchases of common stock •Reached over 440,000 students in 4,100 mostly low-to-moderate income high schools since inception with free, digital financial education through Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial, and will award up to $550,000 in scholarships •Issued our second-ever Social Bond, with the net proceeds committed to serving credit-disadvantaged communities across the country •Certified as one of America’s Most Loved Workplaces® by the Best Practice Institute for the third year in a row •Focused on supporting our customers, especially those most pressured by inflation, through our community-based branch network *See Appendix A for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and descriptions of certain key performance indicators and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated under GAAP. Our results support our long-term value creation strategy even in an uncertain economic environment. We will continue to prioritize investment in our business through underwriting high-quality loans and initiatives that drive capital generation. Our continued focus on strengthening our core business and our strategic priorities has resulted in outperformance relative to the NYSE Composite Index, the NYSE Financial Sector Index, and our 2024 Peer Group over the last three years.
2024 Target Total Direct Compensation
2024 Target Total Direct Compensation Our NEO compensation program for 2024 is consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy and reflects a target for total direct compensation, which the Committee established in early 2024, considering historical performance, market data, the economic environment, and individual specific factors. Target total direct compensation in 2024 was comprised of the following elements: Base salary, which provides a fixed component of compensation that reflects the executive’s position and responsibilities. Base salaries are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee and are informed by competitive market levels and may be adjusted to recognize an executive’s tenure, knowledge, experience, and increasing responsibilities. Annual cash incentive is variable pay delivered in cash based on the achievement of annual, pre-defined financial performance objectives and key short- and long-term strategic goals. Long-term equity awards drive performance against critical goals that create sustainable long-term shareholder value, serve to align our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders and provide a strong retention incentive. Long-term equity awards for 2024 were comprised of equal target amounts of: •PSUs, which are earned subject to the achievement of pre-established performance goals and continued service for a three-year performance period; and •RSUs, which vest in three installments subject to continued service. We believe incentive compensation should constitute a significant majority of an executive officer’s compensation. The table and the charts below reflect the 2024 target total direct compensation mix for our CEO and other NEOs.

| | Review of Pay Versus Performance: The Committee reviews the relationship between executive pay and Company performance. | | | Compensation Assessment: We use compensation data compiled from a group of publicly traded peer companies in the consumer finance, transaction and payment processing services, and commercial and residential mortgage finance industries to support our executive compensation process and decisions. | | | Significant Portion of Deferred Equity Compensation: Our executive officers receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of deferred equity compensation, helping to align the compensation of our executives with our business strategy and performance. | | | Robust Stock Ownership Policies: We maintain stock ownership policies requiring our executive officers to hold shares of Company common stock with a value of at least five times base salary for our CEO and three times respective annual base salary for other executive officers. All of our executive officers have achieved these ownership levels. | | | Compensation Clawbacks: We maintain a compensation clawback policy to recover incentive-based compensation from our current or former executive officers for the three-year period prior to any accounting restatement that would have resulted in a lower payment because of the restated results, regardless of fault. | | | Avoid Inappropriate Risk-taking: Our incentive award opportunities incorporate multiple performance metrics over long-term and short-term periods and avoid over-emphasizing any one metric or goal, which serves to discourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. | | | No Hedging of Shares: Our insider trading policy prohibits all Section 16 reporting persons, including executive officers and directors, from engaging in hedging and monetization transactions of our securities. | | | No Margining Shares or Pledging of Shares: Our insider trading policy prohibits margining our shares or pledging our shares as collateral for a loan. | | | Restrictive Covenants: Our executive officers are subject to restrictive covenants upon separation from the Company, including non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure obligations. | | | Double-Trigger Change-in-Control Provision: Our Omnibus Incentive Plan has a “double-trigger” accelerated vesting feature, meaning that both a change of control and an involuntary termination of employment must occur for awards to vest. | | | Independent Compensation Consultant: The Committee retains an independent executive compensation consultant to provide independent advice, information, and analysis on executive compensation, incentive plan performance measures, and compensation program design and developments. | | | No Excise Tax Gross-Ups: We do not provide gross-up payments to offset any “golden parachute” excise taxes potentially incurred by our executives in connection with a change in control. | | | No Dividend Equivalent Payments on Unvested PSUs: We do not pay dividend equivalents on unvested PSUs. |

Annual Incentive Compensation
Annual Incentive Compensation Our executive officers are eligible to receive annual incentive compensation contingent upon the attainment of specific, pre-established financial performance metrics and strategic objectives for the Company, which are intended to drive sustainable growth and create long-term stockholder value. Annual incentive compensation for 2024 was paid in the form of cash based on the achievement of annual financial and qualitative performance metrics. For 2024, annual incentive compensation comprised 70% financial performance metrics and 30% qualitative metrics. The financial performance metrics were selected to align compensation with our business strategy and performance and to reward achievement of financial targets and effective strategic leadership. Each quantitative metric was capped at 150% of target, which served as a cap for the annual incentive opportunity.

Annual Incentive Compensation
Qualitative strategic factors represent 30% of our annual incentive award and were selected to align with the Company’s strategic objectives, with an achievement value of up to 200%. For 2024, qualitative factors consisted of the following: •manage production and credit through a challenging economic environment; •manage operating expenses, including certain planned reductions; •continue disciplined investment in new products; •invest in analytics, data, and cloud capabilities; •continue to be the employer of choice for our team members and focus on our external reputation; and •advance funding and investor strategy. The Committee evaluated performance against pre-established qualitative strategic objectives and the Company’s progress on its strategic priorities for 2024 and determined that achievement levels of 180% were appropriate for Douglas H. Shulman, Jeannette E. Osterhout, and Micah R. Conrad. The Committee considered the following actions under the leadership of our NEOs: •Actively managed through a dynamic credit environment, which included significant adjustments to the credit box, pricing, and enhanced collections strategy, outperforming peers. •Drove growth in business despite our conservative credit posture, proactively looking for new opportunities. •Managed operating expenses with a focused effort to reduce expenses in the first quarter of 2024. •Continued to drive growth in the core loan business and execute on other strategic efforts to launch new products and channels. •Significant progress made on getting new products ready to scale and expanding channels, including expansion of our auto finance lending distribution channel, while maintaining credit quality in a difficult environment and improving yield, integrating Foursight to expand into indirect auto finance, which resulted in $2.4 billion of auto finance managed receivables at year end, and providing free Trim financial wellness benefits to our customers. •Significant progress made on major technology and digital initiatives. •Continued advancement in our data science and analytics capabilities by continuing our model refinement and expanding data sources. •Achieved significant advancement of public policy goals. •Positioned ourselves as an employer of choice with increased employee engagement scores and certified as one of America’s Most Loved Workplaces® by the Best Practice Institute for the third year in a row. •Expanded our Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial free digital education program to over 4,100 high schools and over 440,000 students since inception. •Gained new long-term equity investors and increased support from major current investors by communicating our superior balance sheet management, credit management, and innovation for growth to the equity investor community. •Continued to refine our funding and investor strategy, including issuing $3.9 billion with approximately $1.1 billion in asset-backed securities and $2.4 billion of unsecured bonds in a challenging capital markets environment; renewed credit facilities at favorable terms. Achievement level of the annual compensation metrics is included in the table below.

(3)Achieved at 180% for Mr. Shulman, Ms. Osterhout, and Mr. Conrad. (4)Achieved at 129% for Mr. Shulman, Ms. Osterhout, and Mr. Conrad. In setting the financial metric targets, the Committee determined to use a range considering uncertainty in the economic environment, including elevated levels of inflation and relatively high interest rates, the volatility in our business, and the continued deterioration in the financial health of the nonprime consumer. These factors were particularly prevalent in early 2024 when targets were established. Accordingly, the Capital Generation target was set below 2023 performance. Targets for the other metrics were set higher than prior year performance, although the rate of growth was muted for C&I Operating Expenses due to cost reduction actions and efficiency initiatives. The results for Capital Generation and C&I Operating Expenses were within the target range, resulting in achievement levels of 100%. The result for New Products/Channels exceeded the target range, resulting in an achievement level of 150%. Qualitative assessments resulted in achievement levels of 180%. Total performance payouts were 129% of target. The table below reflects the target and earned annual incentive amounts based on the results reflected in the preceding table.

Long-Term Equity Awards
Long-Term Equity Awards Long-term incentive awards tie executive compensation to the achievement of annual financial and qualitative performance metrics and are intended to align our NEOs’ interests with those of our long-term stockholders. Long-term incentives are split evenly between PSUs and RSUs.
2024 Restricted Stock Unit Grants
2024 Restricted Stock Unit Grants Under our executive compensation program effective for 2024, RSUs will be granted annually, with vesting to occur in three equal annual installments subject to continued service.

2024 Performance Share Unit Awards
2024 Performance Share Unit Awards PSUs are tied to the achievement of Capital Generation achievement over a three-year performance period, including a three-year Relative TSR modifier. The Capital Generation goals for the three-year period were set at the beginning of the performance period. The target for the first year of the performance period was set as a base dollar value, with targets for the second and third years set as growth rates. Performance against target (whether dollar value or growth rate) will be measured for each year, generating three annual payout percentages. The three annual payout percentages will be weighted averaged, as presented in the table below, to determine the final payout percentage. The payout percentage ranges from 0%, if the threshold Capital Generation value or growth is not achieved, to 200%, if the maximum Capital Generation value or growth is achieved.

2024 Performance Share Unit Awards
The Committee selected this metric for 2024 as it aligns with how we are managing the business over the longer term, with targets aligned to our annual plan and requiring year-over-year growth. Capital Generation, a non-GAAP metric described further in Appendix A, is the key performance measure of our segment that measures the capital created during a period which is used to manage our business. Capital Generation reflects Consumer & Insurance adjusted pretax income, which excludes regulatory settlements, net gain or loss resulting from repurchases and repayments of debt, and other items and strategic activities (for example, restructuring charges), and also excludes the change in our Consumer & Insurance allowance for finance receivable losses in the period while still considering the Consumer & Insurance net charge-offs incurred during the period. The PSUs are also subject to a three-year TSR modifier, which will adjust the payout down by 20% if Relative TSR is in the bottom quartile when compared to the TSR Modifier Peer Group, and increase the payout by 20% if in the top quartile, with no change occurring if Relative TSR is in the second and third quartiles. PSUs, including the impact of the Relative TSR modifier, have possible payouts ranging between 0% and 200% of the target level. The following reflects target PSU opportunity for our NEOs:

2022 PSU Awards – Pay for Performance
2022 PSU Awards – Pay for Performance In January 2025, the Committee determined final payout levels for PSU awards granted in 2022 with a performance cycle ending at the end of 2024. For the three-year performance period, our Cumulative Three-Year Capital Generation* was approximately $2.5 billion and our Three-Year Average Capital Generation Return on Receivables* was 4.2%. Neither of the threshold requirements for these measures were achieved over the three-year period ending December 31, 2024, resulting in the awards lapsing in their entirety.

Expired Performance Option Awards
Expired Performance Option Awards In 2018 and 2019, the Committee granted cash-settled performance-based awards (the “Performance Option Awards”) to our NEOs, which were intended to provide additional incentives to significantly drive shareholder value and grow the Company following the completion of the Consortium Acquisition and the related changes to our Board and executive management. The outstanding portion of these awards lapsed in their entirety in 2024. The Performance Option Awards were granted in three tranches for each NEO and were subject to achievement of double-trigger vesting conditions based on: (x) a reduction in the Company’s common stock owned by the Consortium to specified levels and (y) the Company’s stock attaining (i) a specified volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) over a consecutive six-month period ending on or before the date the Consortium reduced its ownership below the applicable level or (ii) a fair market value on the date following such reduction in ownership that was not less than 10% below the applicable VWAP trigger. The Performance Option Awards were designed to closely align the interests of our management team with those of our stockholders, and vesting of the first two of the three tranches required that the Consortium, and therefore our stockholders generally, receive substantial pre-specified returns on investment based on the stock price at the time of the Consortium Acquisition. Such vesting conditions related to the first two tranches of the Performance Option Awards were satisfied in 2021. In 2021, the Performance Option Awards were amended to extend the period to achieve the specified VWAP over a consecutive six-month period from the applicable Consortium sell-down date until July 2024, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the vesting date or an earlier qualifying termination of employment. The VWAP trigger was not achieved for a consecutive six-month period by July 26, 2024, resulting in the awards lapsing in their entirety.
Compensation Consultant Independence
Compensation Consultant Independence The Committee has assessed the independence of FW Cook and Meridian pursuant to NYSE rules, and the Committee has concluded that the work each firm performed for the Committee during 2024 did not raise any conflicts of interest that would prevent either FW Cook or Meridian from independently advising the Committee. Role of Management The Committee receives recommendations from the CEO, working with management, regarding our executive compensation structure, metrics, and goals. Our CEO does not make any recommendations with respect to his own compensation. The Committee also receives information from our CFO and General Counsel to evaluate whether our incentive compensation programs for our executive officers and other employees encourage responsible investment of our resources and do not unintentionally encourage or reward imprudent risk-taking. After a review of our compensation plans by our CFO and General Counsel, who provided the Committee with a briefing in April 2025, the Committee concluded that our compensation plans were well designed and well documented. Additionally, our incentive compensation plans were not unbalanced such that they encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking that would endanger the reputation or financial well-being of the Company or otherwise have any material adverse effect on the Company. Stockholder Feedback At our 2020 Annual Meeting, our stockholders voted in favor of conducting advisory votes on our executive compensation program on a triennial basis. As previously noted, we revised our executive compensation program in 2023, which we previewed in the proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting. The Board believes this realigned program appropriately reflected our business and economic environment with a diversified stockholder base, and that support for the program was reflected in the advisory vote on our executive compensation program at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which approximately 95% of the votes cast were in favor. Following the vote, the Board and the Compensation Committee reviewed these results and continued to enhance and engage with stockholders on our executive compensation policies. Stockholders will again be asked to vote, on an advisory basis, on the compensation paid to our NEOs and the frequency of such advisory votes at our 2026 Annual Meeting. Use of Peer Groups
2024 Peer Group
2024 Peer Group In the course of designing and implementing our 2024 executive compensation program, the Committee used compensation data compiled from a group of publicly traded peer companies in the diversified financial services industries (including banking, consumer finance, thrifts, and mortgage finance), as well as the specialty retail and IT services industries.
2024 Peer Group
| •The Aaron’s Company Inc.(1) (Specialty Retail) •Comerica Incorporated (Diversified Banks) •Credit Acceptance Corporation (Consumer Finance) •Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

(Thrifts and Mortgage Finance) •SLM Corporation (Consumer Finance) •The Western Union Company (IT Services) | | (1) The Aaron’s Company was acquired in October 2024. | |
Revised Peer Group Adopted for 2025
Revised Peer Group Adopted for 2025 For determining the fiscal year relevant peer group for 2025 (the “2025 Peer Group”), the Committee, with assistance from its new independent compensation consultant, reviewed the 2024 Peer Group and determined that it would be appropriate to make adjustments that align with our size, industry and talent acquisition strategy for benchmarking our executive compensation program. There were selected peers in the 2024 Peer Group that were no longer relevant based on our focus to strengthen our core business and our revised strategic priorities. The focus of our peer group shifted to peers in the Consumer Finance and Transaction and Payment Processing industries. Additionally, the Committee reviewed revenue before loan loss provisions (where applicable), total assets, and market capitalization of each company in the 2025 Peer Group to ensure that such company was an appropriate comparator. Based on this analysis, the Committee determined that the 2025 Peer Group would remove Comerica Incorporated, Commerce Bancshares, Inc., Dollar Tree, Inc., Huntington Bancshares Incorporated, Mr. Cooper Group Inc., and The Aaron’s Company Inc. and replace them with Ally Financial Inc., Global Payments Inc., PROG Holdings, Inc., Rocket Companies, Inc., SoFi Technologies, Inc., and Toast, Inc. Relative to the 2025 Peer Group, as of December 31, 2024, OneMain was positioned at the 50th percentile in terms of assets, 57th percentile in terms of revenue before loan loss provisions and 57th percentile in terms of market capitalization. The Committee relies on various sources of compensation information to determine the competitive market for our NEOs. To assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation program, we (together with our independent compensation consultant) analyze compensation data obtained from the proxy materials of the peer group members as well as compensation and benefits survey data provided by other national compensation consulting firms. As part of this process, we measure our program’s competitiveness by comparing relevant market data against actual pay levels within each compensation component and in the aggregate for each executive officer position. We also review the mix of our compensation components with respect to fixed versus variable, short-term versus long-term, and cash versus equity-based pay. This information is then presented to the Committee for its review and use.
TSR Modifier Peer Group
TSR Modifier Peer Group For purposes of evaluating Relative TSR as a modifier for the PSU portion of our long-term incentive program, the Committee compares the Company’s TSR against a broader set of consumer finance and other companies that the Committee deemed relevant based on its industry (the “TSR Modifier Peer Group”). The TSR Modifier Peer Group includes the following companies:
TSR Modifier Peer Group
| •Ally Financial Inc. •Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. •Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. •CURO Group Holdings Corp.(1) •Encore Capital Group, Inc. •EZCORP, Inc. •Green Dot Corp. •LendingClub Corporation •Medallion Financial Corp. •Navient Corporation •Nicholas Financial, Inc. •Oportun Financial Corp. •Regional Management Corp. •SLM Corp. •Upstart Holdings, Inc. | •Atlanticus Holdings Corp •Capital One Financial Corp. •Credit Acceptance Corp. •Discover Financial Services •Enova International, Inc. •FirstCash Holdings, Inc. •Katapult Holdings, Inc. •LendingTree, Inc. •Mogo Inc. •Nelnet, Inc. •Open Lending Corp. •PRA Group, Inc. •SoFi Technologies, Inc. •Synchrony Financial •World Acceptance Corp. | | (1) CURO Group Holdings Corp. was delisted in March 2024 in connection with its filing of a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. | |
TSR Modifier Peer Group
Accounting and Tax Treatment The accounting and tax treatment of the elements of our executive compensation is one factor considered in the design of the program. Although the Committee may consider the impact of tax and accounting consequences when developing and implementing the Company’s executive compensation program, the Committee retains the flexibility to design and administer a compensation program that is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

(1)Represents cash awards under the 2024 annual incentive program. The amounts reported represent the threshold, target and maximum awards (43%, 100% and 165% of target, respectively) that could be earned based on achievement of quantitative and qualitative goals as determined by the Committee. Based on the actual achievement for 2024 under the terms of the annual incentive program, the Committee approved cash payouts in early 2025, as reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 above. (2)Represents annual PSUs granted in 2024. The PSUs will vest after three years on a date to be determined by the Committee, to the extent earned based upon the attainment of performance goals established by the Committee for the 2024-2026 performance period and as further described in the CD&A. (3)The grants reported in this column represent RSUs granted for 2024. These RSUs will vest in three equal increments following the grant date based on continued service, with one third having vested on February 20, 2025, one-third vesting on February 20, 2026, and one-third vesting on February 19, 2027. (4)Amounts reported in this column are calculated in accordance with ASC 718 based on the probable achievement of the underlying performance conditions. For a summary of the assumptions used in the valuation of these equity-based awards, please see Note 17, Share-Based Compensation, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table reports the dollar value of cash (non-equity) incentive awards and the number and value of equity awards granted to each executive officer during 2024. With regard to cash incentives, this table reports the range of potential values that could have been obtained by the executive officer; whereas the Summary Compensation Table reports the actual value realized for 2024. Equity amounts represent the grant date values of the awards determined under ASC 718 for purposes of financial statement reporting, which are based on probable outcomes. Grant date fair values reflected in the 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table do not include dividend equivalent payments with respect to the underlying equity-based awards.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements
CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio In accordance with SEC rules, we have calculated the ratio between the total compensation of our CEO and our median employee for 2024. To select our median employee, we evaluated our employee population and determined our median employee using W-2 income as our consistently applied compensation measure. We selected our median employee from our entire employee population as of December 31, 2023, using annualized base pay for employees who were hired in 2023, and converting compensation for employees paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using a fiscal year 2023 exchange rate. We did not make any full-time equivalent adjustment for any employee when annualizing base pay. We examined a small group of employees for whom total cash compensation was clustered within a few dollars around the median. From this group, we selected an individual we determined to be reasonably representative of our median employee. The 2024 annual total compensation for the median employee, who serves as a branch manager, determined in accordance with SEC rules was $85,089. The 2024 annual total compensation for our CEO, Mr. Shulman, was $11,322,545, as reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The resulting pay ratio is estimated to be approximately 133 to 1. Amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our NEOs, including our CEO, are determined pursuant to SEC rules that do not necessarily reflect amounts actually received or realized by, or value actually delivered to, our NEOs, including our CEO. In addition, other companies have different employee demographics and compensation and benefit practices. As a result, CEO pay ratios reported by other companies may vary significantly and likely are not comparable to our CEO pay ratio.
Pay Versus Performance

Pay Versus Performance
(a) Amounts reported for 2021 reflect the settlement of two tranches of Performance Option Awards. The following charts reflect the compensation actually paid to the Company’s CEO and the average compensation actually paid to the non-CEO NEOs, respectively, and their relation to (i) the Company’s TSR, (ii) the Company’s net income, and (iii) the Company’s selected measure of financial performance, Capital Generation, for each year presented. We also show below the relationship between the Company’s TSR and the TSR of the NYSE Financial Sector Index over this period. The Company’s TSR increased in four of the last five years, with total TSR increasing 129% over this period. The TSR of the NYSE Financial Sector Index also grew in four of the last five years, but at a lower rate than the Company’s TSR, with total TSR of the NYSE Financial Sector Index increasing 56% from 2020 through 2024. The Company’s net income and Capital Generation trended up from 2020 to 2021 before declining in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Compensation actually paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and average compensation actually paid to the non-CEO NEOs changed year-over-year primarily due to changes in equity grant values and stock price performance, which affected the value of outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs. OneMain considers the following to be the most important financial performance measures it uses to link compensation actually paid to its NEOs, for 2024, to company performance.
