Election of twelve directors; advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Say-on-Pay); and ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors.
Elect twelve directors named in the proxy statement for one-year terms.
Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (Say-on-Pay).
The advisory proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the Company’s executive compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management seeks approval to validate its compensation philosophy and program, which emphasizes performance-based pay, long-term incentives tied to rTSR, ROCE and sustainability metrics, and a balanced mix of financial and sustainability metrics. The Board recommends FOR, arguing that the program aligns pay with company performance, governance best practices, and stockholder interests; the LDCC oversees design and benchmarking against a peer group and retains discretion and clawback provisions. The vote is advisory and non-binding but will inform future pay decisions.
Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026.
