   Advisory Vote to Approve the Company’s Executive Compensation

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   An advisory (“say-on-pay”) vote to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.

   More detail

   This advisory proposal asks stockholders to approve the Company’s executive compensation disclosures and overall pay practices for the named executive officers. Management is seeking this non-binding approval to validate that its pay-for-performance philosophy, which combines base salary, annual cash incentives tied to Organic Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA margin, and long-term performance share units and restricted stock units, remains aligned with stockholder interests. The program emphasizes a majority of at-risk, performance-based compensation and long-term equity with multi-year performance and vesting conditions to promote sustained value creation and retention. The Compensation Committee engaged an independent advisor, reviewed peer-group positioning, solicited stockholder feedback, and adjusted target pay and incentive metrics to better align competitiveness and long-term goals. The board recommends a vote FOR, explaining that recent corporate performance (record RBR growth, margin expansion, and total shareholder return) supports continuation of the program and that governance safeguards (clawback policy, double-trigger change-in-control protections, stock ownership guidelines, and caps tied to TSR) mitigate risk of misaligned incentives. The resolution is advisory only, so approval will not be binding on the board or Compensation Committee, but the board intends to consider the voting results when making future compensation decisions. Key contextual considerations include Huron’s use of non-GAAP metrics (Organic Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS) in incentive design, the substantial grants to revenue-generating staff to link client-facing performance to company results, and prior strong stockholder support (98% approval in 2024). An analyst evaluating the proposal should weigh the quantitative targets, the disclosed pay-for-performance outcomes (e.g., PSU payouts and realized compensation), the strength of governance controls, and market practices among peers in assessing whether the program appropriately balances growth incentive, risk management and dilution. Given the committee’s disclosure of robust shareholder outreach and post‑grant governance (clawbacks, ownership requirements), the board’s recommendation is grounded in both recent strong financial outcomes and structural program features intended to align executive incentives with long-term stockholder value.

3. 3

   Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

   ManagementBoard: FOR

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

4. 4

   Transaction of Other Business

   Management

   To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

   More detail

   This catch‑all proposal reserves the right for the meeting to consider and vote on any additional matters that may properly arise at the Annual Meeting, including procedural motions or other items not known at the time of proxy solicitation. Such items are typically incidental and may include adjournments, procedural approvals, or business that was not reasonably known at the time the proxy statement was finalized. The board does not provide a specific recommendation in advance because the subject matter and context of any such matters are unknown; any proxies submitted without contrary instructions will be voted by management in accordance with their judgment. From a governance perspective, inclusion of an 'other business' item is standard practice to ensure the meeting can transact necessary corporate matters; it does not constitute a substantive, standalone policy change or action. Analysts should note that the presence of this item does not indicate pending material transactions or proposals—its purpose is procedural flexibility. If significant new matters were to be introduced at the meeting, the company is obligated to disclose material information in accordance with securities laws and to allow stockholders to evaluate and vote accordingly. Historically, such items rarely change outcomes for investors because they tend to be ministerial; however, if a meaningful proposal were raised from the floor, the board’s public recommendation (if any) and supporting materials would be provided to stockholders for informed consideration.
