Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding, advisory 'say-on-pay' proposal to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement (CD&A, compensation tables, and related disclosures).
More detail
This management-sponsored, non-binding advisory proposal asks stockholders to approve the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and accompanying tables. Management seeks approval to validate its pay design and signal stockholder support for the mix of base salary, performance-based annual cash bonuses and time-based RSU equity awards that constitute Named Executive Officers’ compensation. The Proxy Statement explains the program’s pay-for-performance orientation: target annual bonuses and equity are intended to align executives’ incentives with company performance, with the 2025 bonus pool funded against DAUq, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA metrics (which produced a 165% corporate payout in 2025). The Compensation and Talent Committee engaged an independent consultant, used a defined peer group for market benchmarking, and applied governance controls—such as a compensation recovery policy and limits on hedging—to mitigate misalignment and excessive risk. Because the vote is advisory, it does not change pay arrangements directly, but the Board and Compensation and Talent Committee state they will consider the outcome when making future compensation decisions. Supporting a FOR vote signals investor endorsement of the Committee’s philosophy and the specific mix and governance around pay; a vote against could prompt the Committee to adjust metrics, award sizes, or disclosure practices. From a governance analysis perspective, key factors include the significant role of equity awards in long-term alignment, the adoption of performance metrics tied to user and financial growth, management’s disclosure of pay benchmarking and consultant independence, and the presence of clawback and anti-hedging policies. Given Reddit’s recent post-IPO compensation dynamics (large year-end equity values reflected in “compensation actually paid”), sophisticated investors will weigh whether realized and realizable equity outcomes are consistent with measured operational performance and long-term shareholder value creation. Overall, the proposal is a standard say-on-pay vote but one that provides important feedback to the Board on its executive pay program design, metrics, and governance practices.
