Proposals

On the ballot7

  1. 1

    Election of directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Election of the 11 nominated directors to serve for one-year terms until the 2027 annual meeting.

  2. 2

    Advisory resolution to approve executive compensation

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (Say-on-Pay).

    More detail

    This advisory (Say-on-Pay) proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation program for the Firm’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed throughout the proxy. Management seeks approval to validate its compensation philosophy and implementation, emphasizing pay-for-performance, heavy weighting toward long-term equity (particularly PSUs for the CEO), and integration of risk, controls and conduct into pay decisions. The Compensation & Management Development Committee details robust governance—peer benchmarking, clawbacks, anti-hedging/anti-pledging, stock ownership and multi-year PSU structures tied to ROTCE—intended to align management incentives with shareholder returns and safety and soundness. Management’s recommendation is FOR, citing strong firm performance, alignment of CEO pay to long-term performance (88% of CEO variable pay deferred into PSUs), and extensive shareholder engagement that supported prior Say-on-Pay votes. Material context includes exceptionally strong 2025 financial results, ongoing regulatory scrutiny of banks’ pay practices, and the firm’s continued use of protection-based vesting and recovery provisions; the vote is advisory but is considered in future compensation decisions by the CMDC.
