Proposals

On the ballot4

  1. 1

    Election of Directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Elect five director nominees—Luca Fabbri, John A. Good, Danny D. Moore, Paul A. Pittman, and Bruce J. Sherrick—for one-year terms expiring at the 2027 annual meeting.

  2. 2

    Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Crowe LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

  3. 3

    Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Approve, on a non-binding (advisory) basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

    More detail

    This advisory management proposal asks stockholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation paid to the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management seeks this vote to obtain shareholder input on executive pay practices and to demonstrate alignment between executive incentives and company performance, consistent with SEC rules requiring such disclosure. The company emphasizes that compensation consists of base salary, short-term incentives, and restricted stock awards and that performance metrics include renewal rates of expiring leases, AFFO per share, and balance sheet management to align pay with strategic priorities. The Board notes that the 2025 Say-on-Pay proposal failed to receive majority support, prompting enhanced stockholder engagement and additional disclosure; management recommends a vote "FOR" and intends to consider stockholder feedback if significant opposition recurs. Although advisory and non-binding, the vote informs the Compensation Committee’s future decisions; the Board recommends annual votes as reflected in Proposal 4. Given the company’s lean management structure and compensation that management characterizes as modest relative to peers, the Board argues these programs balance retention and pay-for-performance. Potential areas of investor concern include single-trigger change-in-control severance provisions and past low investor support; management has responded with engagement, enhanced disclosures, and rationale for its severance practices, but these remain points of contention for governance-focused investors.

  4. 4

    Advisory Vote on Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay Frequency

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Determine, on an advisory basis, whether future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held every one, two, or three years; the Board recommends one year.

    More detail

    This management proposal asks shareholders to indicate their preferred frequency for future non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation: one, two, or three years. The Board recommends an annual advisory vote, arguing that more frequent votes facilitate regular stockholder input into executive compensation decisions and policies. This recommendation is contextualized by the prior year’s Say-on-Pay result (below majority support), prompting the Board to seek more frequent engagement and responsiveness from management. While advisory and non-binding, the frequency vote signals shareholder sentiment to the Compensation Committee; an annual frequency increases accountability but may also involve more governance costs. Institutional investors often favor annual votes, while some argue less frequent votes allow for better assessment of long-term pay outcomes; the Board's preference reflects an emphasis on ongoing engagement and oversight. Management’s proposal is presented alongside continued commitments to consider shareholder feedback when making compensation decisions. This proposal is routine in nature for governance but non-binding, with the Board explicitly recommending "ONE YEAR.
