Election of Directors

Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORApprove, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
The proposal asks stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the overall compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. It expressly covers the compensation discussion and analysis, compensation tables, and related narrative in the proxy statement. The vote is not directed at any single pay element, but at the overall compensation program and its policies and practices. Management frames the program around pay-for-performance and long-term stockholder value creation. Fiscal 2026 compensation included performance-based annual incentives tied to net sales and adjusted operating income, as well as long-term equity awards linked to sales growth, return on equity, and relative total stockholder return. The Company states that a meaningful portion of executive compensation is at risk and that the program includes governance protections such as clawbacks, stock ownership requirements, anti-hedging and anti-pledging rules, and caps on incentive payouts. At the 2025 annual meeting, more than 94% of votes cast supported the say-on-pay proposal, which the Compensation Committee cites as evidence of continued stockholder support. The Company’s fiscal 2026 performance was mixed, with lower sales and earnings but strong margins, cash flow, liquidity, and capital returns. The Board unanimously recommends voting FOR approval and states that the Compensation Committee will consider the advisory result in future compensation decisions, although the vote will not bind the Board or Company.
