Stockholders will vote to elect two directors for three-year terms, ratify Grant Thornton LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026, cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the 2025 compensation of the named executive officers, and transact any other business properly brought before the meeting.
Elect two directors (David M. Guernsey and James A. MacCutcheon) each to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the 2025 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
This is a non-binding, advisory (say-on-pay) proposal asking shareholders to approve the disclosed 2025 compensation of the named executive officers. Management seeks shareholder approval to validate its compensation design, which the Company describes as principally salary, discretionary cash bonuses, and from time to time equity awards (time‑based and performance‑based restricted stock units) intended to align executive pay with stockholder value and financial performance. The Compensation Committee and Board present this item to solicit shareholder feedback; although the vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee will review the outcome and consider it when making future compensation decisions. Contextually, the Company is a smaller reporting company and discloses detailed pay elements and pay‑versus‑performance reconciliation, indicating an intent to demonstrate alignment between realized pay and metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA, net income, and total shareholder return. The Board’s recommendation for a FOR vote is supported by its view that the program attracts and retains senior officers and appropriately reflects individual performance and contributions. Because the vote is advisory, a negative result would not automatically change pay arrangements but would trigger board and Compensation Committee review and potential adjustments to plan design or disclosure. Investors evaluating this proposal should weigh the discretionary nature of cash bonuses, the performance metrics and vesting terms of restricted stock units (including the 60%–120% performance payout range), and the company’s pay‑versus‑performance disclosures that show increases in compensation actually paid alongside rising TSR and net income in 2025. The proposal’s governance implications are moderate: it is a standard say-on-pay vote that offers shareholders a voice on executive compensation but does not directly alter contractual or plan terms. Given the board’s explicit commitment to consider the voting results and the disclosed alignment mechanisms, a FOR recommendation reflects management’s confidence in its compensation framework and responsiveness to shareholder concerns.
Transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
This item is a catch‑all placeholder authorizing consideration of any additional matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting, rather than a discrete substantive proposal. It gives the meeting the procedural ability to address unforeseen or supplemental business but contains no defined action, metrics, or binding directives and therefore provides little predictive information about potential outcomes. The Board states it knows of no other matters to be submitted to the meeting, and management proxies intend to vote shares in accordance with Board recommendations should any additional matters arise. From a governance perspective, this item has limited standalone significance but could encompass routine or logistical proposals, ministerial adjournments, or proposals introduced by stockholders that meet procedural requirements under the Company’s bylaws and SEC rules. For investors, the practical effect is that no specific vote is expected under this item, and it should not be conflated with formal, disclosed proposals that carry substantive economic or governance consequences. Because brokers may not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares on non‑routine matters, shareholders holding through brokers should ensure they provide instructions if they want their votes counted on any ad hoc items covered by this clause. The Board provided no explicit recommendation for this catch‑all item beyond the general solicitation, and the company expressly states it is unaware of other matters to be presented.
