   More detail

   Proposal 3 asks stockholders to provide a non-binding advisory approval of compensation awarded to FactSet’s named executive officers for fiscal 2026. The resolution covers the overall compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, related notes, and narrative disclosures, rather than any individual pay element. Management states that the program is designed around pay for performance, with compensation tied to company operating results and individual execution of strategic objectives. The program also emphasizes long-term stockholder alignment through substantial equity compensation, including options, performance stock units, restricted stock units, and, for the new CEO, performance stock options subject to a significant stock-price hurdle. FactSet highlights fiscal 2026 leadership transitions, including the appointment of Sanoke Viswanathan as CEO and Joshua Warren as CFO, as context for one-time make-whole, sign-on, and retention awards. The company reports that approximately 95% of votes supported say-on-pay for more than a decade, with 95.6% support at the 2025 Annual Meeting, and says its 2026 stockholder engagement produced no concerns about executive compensation or CEO pay decisions. The Compensation and Talent Committee oversees the program and uses an independent consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, for market and governance advice. The Board asks stockholders to vote FOR, while acknowledging that the vote is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Compensation and Talent Committee, or the Board. The Board and committee nevertheless state that they will consider the outcome when evaluating future compensation arrangements.
