    More detail

    Proposal 3 asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables. Management is seeking shareholder approval to obtain advisory validation of its executive compensation policies and practices, to demonstrate alignment between pay and performance, and to gauge shareholder sentiment which the Compensation Committee will consider in future compensation decisions. The proposal is non-binding, so while the Board will review voting outcomes, it retains discretion over compensation decisions and plan design. Notable context includes the Company's use of restricted stock awards to align executive incentives with long-term shareholder value, discretionary bonuses, and a compensation program focused on retention and alignment rather than strict performance-based metrics; the Company also reports a high prior say-on-pay approval (98.3% in 2025) which suggests past shareholder support. The board recommends a vote FOR, arguing that its compensation program provides a competitive total compensation package that attracts and retains executives, aligns executives’ interests with stockholders, and rewards performance, and that the Compensation Committee considers say-on-pay results when making future decisions.
