Proposals
On the ballot3
- 1
Election of Directors
ManagementBoard: FORElect eight director nominees to the Board of Directors, each for a one-year term.
- 2
Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
This proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation program as described in the proxy statement. Management seeks approval to affirm its compensation philosophy, which emphasizes pay-for-performance, a mix of salary, short- and long-term incentives, and risk-mitigating features (clawbacks, no hedging or pledging, capped payouts). The board recommends approval because the Compensation Committee, with an independent consultant, concluded the program aligns executives’ interests with shareholders, ties a significant portion of pay to company performance (Adjusted EPS, TSR, ROIC), and includes governance safeguards. Context includes strong FY2026 performance, historical high say-on-pay support (98.2% in 2025), and the company’s use of PSUs (TSR and ROIC) and RSUs to balance retention and performance incentives. The vote is advisory, so while not binding, it informs future compensation decisions; management notes it will consider shareholder feedback. The Compensation Committee’s rationale emphasizes alignment with peers, risk control, and retention in a competitive market.
