4. 4

   Approval of the Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve amendment and restatement of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the share reserve by 4,500,000 shares (from 4,500,000 to 9,000,000) and make other clarifying changes.

   More detail

   The proposal asks shareholders to approve a material amendment to the Company’s equity plan, effectively doubling the share reserve to 9 million shares to support future equity grants for employees, officers and directors. Management argues the increase is necessary to maintain competitive compensation, to fund long-term incentive programs and to cover expected hiring, promotions and retention needs for approximately five years. The proxy provides supporting metrics such as recent burn rate (average 1.1% over three years), current overhang (8.3%) and projected overhang post-amendment (15.2%), and notes governance protections including no repricing without shareholder approval, no evergreen replenishment, limits on non-employee director awards, and clawback policies. The Board and Talent and Compensation Committee, advised by external consultants (FW Cook and Perkins Coie LLP), recommend a FOR vote, highlighting potential dilution concerns but arguing the reserve is reasonable versus competitive practices and necessary for recruiting and retention. The proposal is transactionally routine for companies that rely on equity, and it would allow the company to continue granting stock options, RSUs and PRSUs and to sustain the current compensation structure that ties pay to performance. Significant considerations include potential dilution, comparative peer practices, the company’s historical grant practices and burn rate, and the fact that the Amended Plan removes certain employee award limits while maintaining director limits.

   Shareholder Proposal Regarding Proxy Access

   Shareholder — Myra K. YoungBoard: AGAINST

   Shareholder-submitted proposal requests the Board to enable proxy access allowing shareholders owning at least 3% for at least three years to aggregate shares without group limits to nominate up to 25% of the board and include nominees’ supporting statements in the company’s proxy materials.

   More detail

   This shareholder proposal requests the Board to implement expanded proxy access allowing shareholders owning at least 3% for three years to aggregate holdings without a limit on group size to nominate up to 25% of the board. The proponent argues such access empowers small shareholders, improves accountability, can address social and environmental risks, reduces costs compared to contested proxy fights, and cites studies asserting shareholder value benefits. Management opposes the proposal, arguing existing nomination channels suffice, that proxy access could permit nominees who lack required independence or qualifications, empower special interests, increase company costs and destabilize governance, and that the Board and Nominating and Governance Committee are better positioned to vet candidates for the benefit of all shareholders.
