Approval (on an Advisory Basis) of the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (say-on-pay).
More detail
This management proposal asks shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote approving the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management seeks shareholder endorsement to validate its pay-for-performance design which includes a high percentage of performance-based compensation (approximately 90% for the CEO and 81% for other NEOs), short-term incentive payouts tied to profitability, safety reporting, guest experience and integration synergies, and long-term equity awards (50% RSUs and 50% PSUs) tied to ROIC performance over multi-year periods. The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee uses an independent consultant and peer group benchmarking to set pay levels and retains discretion to adjust payouts; the board recommends a FOR vote, arguing the structure aligns management incentives with shareholder interests while deterring excessive risk through caps, clawbacks and overlapping vesting. The advisory nature means the vote is non-binding but will be considered in future compensation decisions; the proposal reflects broader market practice for annual say-on-pay votes and the board’s view that recent shareholder outreach and previous advisory approval support continuation of the approach.

Ratification of the Appointment of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accountants
