More detail
The advisory say-on-pay proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the 2025 compensation disclosed for Named Executive Officers, including CD&A and related tables. Management seeks shareholder approval to validate the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and to demonstrate shareholder support for its compensation program design, which emphasizes at-risk performance pay, multi-year vesting, and alignment to financial metrics such as pretax adjusted operating earnings, controllable costs, net cash flow to JFI, and adjusted operating ROE. The Compensation Committee monitors say-on-pay outcomes and shareholder feedback and uses this input in setting future compensation and plan design. Significant recent context includes strong shareholder support in 2025 (over 94% approval), CEO and NEO pay structured with PSUs/RSUs and cash bonuses tied to performance, and the Company’s recent strategic actions (formation of captive reinsurer and partnership with TPG) that management cites as drivers of higher compensation payouts in 2025. The Board recommends a vote FOR the proposal because it believes the program aligns executives’ interests with long-term shareholder value, incorporates robust governance safeguards (clawback policy, stock ownership guidelines, no hedging/pledging), and delivered strong financial and operational outcomes in 2025. The proposal is advisory and non-binding, and the Board commits to consider shareholder votes when making future compensation decisions.
