- 2
Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding advisory vote to approve compensation paid to the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
The proposal requests a non-binding, advisory approval of the 2025 compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy materials. Management seeks this advisory endorsement to validate its compensation philosophy and practices, which emphasize performance-based pay tied to Adjusted GAAP Calendar Year Combined Ratio and change in Adjusted Book Value Per Share (ABVPS), and to inform future compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee believes the program aligns pay with performance through short-term incentives linked to underwriting metrics and long-term performance share units tied to ABVPS, includes clawback and ownership guidelines to mitigate risk, and uses an independent compensation consultant. The vote is advisory and non-binding; however, the Board will consider the outcome when setting future compensation. The recommendation to vote in favor is unanimous, citing that these policies implement the Company’s compensation objectives and have historically received strong shareholder support (over 95% support in prior years).
