   Approval of Amendment to the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve an amendment to increase authorized shares available for grant under the 2019 Omnibus Plan by 1,800,000 shares.

   More detail

   This management proposal seeks shareholder approval to increase the share reserve under the company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan by 1.8 million shares to ensure sufficient equity award capacity for the company’s incentive programs. Management frames the amendment as necessary to continue grants for employees and directors given the projected depletion of available shares by end of 2027, quantifies potential dilution (11.4% overhang on a fully-diluted basis including the requested shares and outstanding awards), and provides historical burn rates (1.61% in 2025; three-year average 1.58%) to contextualize the request. The Board recommends FOR, arguing the additional shares are reasonable to support retention and incentives; they note the Company will file an S-8 if approved. The summary explains why management seeks shareholder approval, governance controls (annual limits, vesting, minimum vesting rules, committee administration), and expected usage.
