   Advisory Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Non-binding, advisory 'say-on-pay' vote to approve the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy.

   More detail

   This non-binding advisory proposal asks shareholders to approve the Company’s executive compensation policies and the amounts paid to named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related disclosure. Management is seeking shareholder approval to validate its pay-for-performance philosophy—which emphasizes a high proportion of at-risk compensation through annual cash incentives and long-term equity awards (50% PSUs tied to multi-year revenue and ROIC metrics and 50% RSUs for retention)—and to obtain endorsement of recent changes such as target pay and LTI percentages. The Compensation Committee highlights governance features intended to align executives and stockholders, including robust stock ownership guidelines, double-trigger change-in-control protections, use of an independent compensation consultant, and a multi-metric mix of performance measures (Adjusted EBITDA, bookings, ROIC). The proxy discloses that the board considers historical stockholder feedback (a 96% favorable say-on-pay in 2025) and will consider the vote outcome in future compensation decisions, though the vote is non-binding. The company also discloses peer group benchmarking, use of PSU performance hurdles with linear interpolation, and discretion mechanisms (e.g., excluding certain items from metrics) that could be points of investor scrutiny. The Board recommends a FOR vote, asserting that the programs incentivize management to deliver both short-term operational results and long-term shareholder value while providing retention tools during a period of strategic transition and acquisitions. An analyst evaluating this proposal should weigh the strength of the performance metrics and governance safeguards against the potential for discretion in metric adjustments, the level of realized pay relative to performance, and the company’s recent compensation outcomes and pay-versus-performance disclosures when forming a view on whether management’s program appropriately aligns executive incentives with shareholder interests.
