Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.
Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

National Fuel Gas Company is a holding company whose subsidiaries produce, gather, transport, store and distribute natural gas. Its assets are centered in western New York and Pennsylvania, and its operations are linked by their connection to gas production in the Appalachian Basin. The company was incorporated in 1902. David P. Bauer is president and chief executive officer.
The business begins with Seneca Resources, which explores for and develops natural gas reserves, principally in the Marcellus and Utica shales. National Fuel Gas Midstream builds and operates gathering pipelines and processing facilities that move gas from producing areas, primarily for Seneca. The pipeline and storage business then transports gas for affiliated and unaffiliated customers and stores gas underground.
