More detail
This advisory proposal asks stockholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the Company’s named executive officer compensation as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related tables and narratives. Management seeks this endorsement to confirm stockholder support for its pay programs, which are structured to attract and retain executives while aligning compensation with long-term stockholder value. The Company emphasizes a pay-for-performance approach: long-term incentives are 70% performance-based and 30% time-based, with performance metrics including cumulative adjusted EPS, relative total shareholder return versus a compensation peer group, and multi-year operating objectives tied to reliability, clean energy, cybersecurity, and workplace culture. Annual incentive awards also tie to adjusted EPS, operating budgets, and operational goals, and the Compensation Committee retains discretion and clawback provisions to mitigate undue risk and address exceptional circumstances. The Board frames the advisory vote as an important tool of engagement — noting prior strong support (92.78% in 2025) — and intends to consider the voting outcome when setting future compensation policies. The proposal is advisory and non-binding, so approval would signal stockholder endorsement but would not legally compel changes; nonetheless, the Board treats the result as influential in its ongoing governance and compensation design. Given these program features and the Board’s engagement with investors, the management recommendation is to vote in favor to reaffirm alignment between executive incentives and long-term company performance.
