    ManagementBoard: FOR

    More detail

    The proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy. Management seeks shareholder approval as required under Exchange Act Section 14A; the vote is advisory and informs the MDCC’s future decisions. The CD&A details the company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, use of AIP and LTIP (now 100% PSUs based on relative TSR), and other governance features such as clawbacks, anti-hedging, and stock ownership requirements. Management recommends FOR, citing alignment with shareholder returns and robust governance features; it notes the vote is non-binding but considered seriously. The context includes the company’s transformation, DS Smith acquisition and planned separation, and compensation changes in 2025 including inducement grants for leadership transitions.
