Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay
ManagementBoard: FORA non-binding, advisory vote to approve the Company’s Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in the Proxy Statement (CD&A, compensation tables, and related materials).
More detail
This management proposal requests a non-binding, advisory approval of the Company’s executive compensation as disclosed in the Proxy Statement (the CD&A, compensation tables, and related materials). Management seeks this annual advisory vote to provide shareholders with a direct mechanism to express their view on pay practices for Named Executive Officers, consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act requirements and the company’s prior adoption of an annual vote schedule. The Compensation Committee emphasizes that HEICO’s program ties significant compensation to long-term performance—through performance-vesting stock options that vest contingent on annual net income growth and performance-based discretionary contributions under the HEICO Leadership Compensation Plan—intended to align management incentives with shareholder value. The CD&A highlights recent responsiveness to shareholder feedback, including structuring fiscal 2025 option grants and LCP contributions to be performance-based and increasing disclosure around bonus targets and calculations. The proposal is advisory and non-binding; the Board will consider the outcome and shareholder feedback when evaluating future compensation design, but is not legally obligated to change compensation practices based on the vote. The Board recommends a FOR vote, arguing that the pay programs have supported sustained revenue, profit, and cash-flow growth over decades and align executives’ interests with shareholders. The Compensation Committee points to strong historical shareholder support (approximately 95% approval in 2025) and to HEICO’s long-term performance record as rationale for retaining the current approach. Voting FOR signals shareholder support for the Compensation Committee’s philosophy of linking pay to profitability, cash generation, and long-term value creation while preserving the Board’s discretion to make future adjustments informed by investor feedback.
