   Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation (Say-on-Pay

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.

   More detail

   This management proposal requests an advisory, non-binding approval of the company’s disclosed compensation for its named executive officers. Management seeks shareholder endorsement of its pay practices to validate the design and execution of its compensation program, which it describes as intended to reward commitment and performance and align executives’ interests with long-term stockholder value. The Board explains that the vote is advisory — not legally binding — but that it will use shareholder feedback when setting future compensation, reflecting a desire for responsiveness to investor views. Contextually, Everspin is a smaller reporting company with equity awards (RSUs and options) used to retain and incentivize executives; recent full-year awards, target bonus percentages, and severance/change-in-control arrangements are described in the proxy and underpin the program. The Board recommends an annual say-on-pay vote and points to its review of prior advisory vote results when making compensation decisions, indicating ongoing engagement between management and investors on pay matters. Given the advisory nature, proponents of a FOR vote will argue it signals approval of pay alignment with company performance and retention needs, while critics may focus on quantum, vesting schedules, or perceived misalignment during periods of negative net income. The Board’s rationale emphasizes alignment, retention and use of performance-based components; it also notes that compensation decisions consider market data and internal equity. For investors evaluating the proposal, the key issues are the balance between retention incentives and dilution/overhang from equity grants, transparency of performance goals, and the Board’s willingness to act on shareholder feedback.

   Approval of Amendment and Restatement of 2016 Equity Incentive Plan

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve an amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 1,800,000 shares.

   More detail

   This management proposal asks shareholders to approve an amendment and restatement of the company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan that would add 1,800,000 shares to the pool available for grants. Management and the Compensation Committee say the ask is driven by an expected depletion of available shares within 12 months at current grant rates and by forecasts tied to hiring, retention and long-term incentive needs; they frame the increase as necessary to maintain competitive equity programs. The filing provides context on current outstanding awards (options and full-value awards), overhang figures (approximately 11% outstanding awards and projected 23% total overhang after the increase), and the market value of the requested share addition based on the closing price at the measurement date. The Amended Plan also adds governance protections: specifying a limit on repricing and prohibiting cancellation of underwater options for cash without shareholder approval, a cap on per-director annual grant value, and customary administrative controls. Management highlights that the Compensation Committee reviewed 2025 burn rate and concluded it is reasonable, arguing the increase would not create excessive dilution while supporting retention. From a governance perspective, investors will weigh the demonstrated need for shares and anti-dilution measures against dilution concerns and overall shareholder economics; the filing quantifies the anticipated impact and explains the Board’s rationale. The Board recommends FOR, citing talent retention, alignment with long-term shareholder value and procedural protections (e.g., shareholder approval required for repricing/re-grants) as core reasons to support the amendment.
