Proposals

On the ballot3

  1. 1

    Election of Directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Elect eight directors to serve until the 2027 annual meeting.

  2. 2

    Advisory Vote Approving Named Executive Officer Compensation

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (Say-on-Pay).

    More detail

    This non-binding management proposal asks shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy. Management seeks approval to signal shareholder support for the company’s compensation philosophy, pay-for-performance design, and recent pay decisions, which include adjustments following the Tyman acquisition and a mix of annual and long-term incentives tied to financial metrics. The board and Compensation Committee recommend FOR because they believe the programs align pay with performance, emphasize performance-based awards (70% of LTI), and include governance features (clawbacks, stock ownership guidelines, and no hedging or pledging). The vote is advisory but the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome when setting future compensation. The proposal’s context includes recent integration of Tyman, changes to incentive metrics, and fiscal 2025 results where long-term awards paid out at below-target or zero for certain cycles, highlighting alignment with shareholder returns.

  3. 3

    Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026.
