Election of two Class I directors; advisory (non-binding) approval of executive compensation (say-on-pay); ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.
Elect two Class I directors (Bernadette Connaughton and Matthew L. Posard) to serve three-year terms until 2029.
Non-binding advisory approval of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
This management proposal seeks a non-binding advisory approval of the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement (CD&A, tables, and narrative). Management is asking shareholders to endorse its compensation practices, which emphasize alignment between executive pay and long-term stockholder value via a mix of base salary, annual cash incentives tied to corporate performance metrics, and long-term equity incentives heavily weighted to performance-vesting PSUs and stock options. The Board recommends a FOR vote, citing strong 2025 financial results, robust governance practices (clawback policy, no single-trigger CIC payouts, stock ownership guidelines), and significant stockholder support in prior say-on-pay votes. A FOR vote is non-binding but signals shareholder support; a substantial vote against could prompt the Board and Compensation Committee to engage with stockholders and consider changes.
Ratify Ernst & Young LLP as Halozyme’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
