Elect ten named nominees as Trustees to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting.
Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
The proposal requests shareholder approval, on a non-binding basis, of the compensation paid to Eversource’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative. Management seeks shareholder support to validate its pay-for-performance program, including base salary, an annual incentive program with formulaic scorecard metrics (70% financial, 30% operational), and long-term performance shares and RSUs with multi-year EPS growth and relative TSR measures. The Board recommends FOR, citing strong 2025 operational and financial performance, executive responsiveness to prior Say-on-Pay feedback, adoption of formulaic incentives, and governance features such as clawbacks and ownership guidelines.
Ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.
Request the Board adopt a policy separating the offices of Chairman and CEO and require the Chairman be an independent director.
