Approval of Increase in Number of Shares Available Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP
ManagementBoard: FORApprove increase of 3,000,000 shares to the ESPP reserve to ensure sufficient shares for continued employee participation; no other plan terms change.
More detail
The proposal asks shareholders to approve an increase of 3,000,000 common shares available under PSEG’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Management seeks this approval because the current reserve (approximately 672,250 shares as of Dec 31, 2025) is insufficient to sustain the ESPP beyond 2027 at current participation rates. The board states the ESPP aligns employee and shareholder interests, aids retention and recruitment, and supports employee financial wellness by enabling purchases at a 5% (represented) or 10% (non-represented) discount. No other plan amendments are proposed, and the O&CC and Board unanimously recommended the increase. If approved, PSEG will register the additional shares on Form S-8 and expects the additional 3,000,000 shares to last roughly ten years at current participation. The vote is a standard “majority of votes cast” approval; broker non-votes and abstentions have no effect. Investors should consider dilution (approx. 0.6% of outstanding shares as of Feb 20, 2026) and the expected longevity of the plan’s reserve, balanced against the retention and alignment benefits and normal event-driven filings and limits on program amendments without shareholder approval.
