Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORAdvisory 'say-on-pay' vote to approve the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
This advisory proposal asks stockholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation of Huntsman’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management seeks shareholder approval to validate the company’s executive pay philosophy and program design, which emphasizes pay-for-performance through a mix of base salary, annual cash performance awards tied to adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and strategic initiatives, and long-term equity awards tied to relative TSR and time-based restricted stock. The Board and Compensation Committee recommend a FOR vote, arguing that their compensation structure aligns executive interests with long-term stockholder value, that a substantial portion of NEO pay is performance-based, and that prior outreach and high say-on-pay support indicate stockholder approval of their practices. The supporting context includes 2025 performance where cash performance awards paid at 70.6% of target due to free cash flow outperformance despite adjusted EBITDA shortfalls and no payout for the 2023-2025 PSU cycle due to TSR underperformance; the Board notes ongoing stockholder engagement and will consider feedback from the advisory vote for future decisions.
