   More detail

   This advisory proposal asks stockholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the Company’s executive compensation program as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Management is seeking approval to validate its pay-for-performance design, which for Fiscal 2026 emphasized two primary short-term financial metrics (Total Company Revenue and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin), supplemental operational metrics (Strategic Growth Accelerators Revenue and Adjusted SG&A Expense), and an AI scorecard strategic modifier; long-term awards are tied to three‑year Adjusted ROIC and relative TSR. The Talent Committee, with support from an independent compensation consultant, adopted these metrics to reinforce profitable growth, capital allocation discipline, and alignment with stockholder returns while responding to prior stockholder feedback. The Board’s recommendation to vote FOR reflects the Company’s recent strong financial performance, the use of caps on payouts, clawback provisions, stock ownership guidelines, and other governance safeguards intended to mitigate excessive risk-taking. The vote is advisory and non-binding, but the Board has committed to consider the outcome in future compensation decisions and engages in regular stockholder outreach to refine program design. The Company also highlights its high prior Say-on-Pay support and explains the inclusion of AI metrics as a strategic modifier in response to evolving business priorities. Overall, the proposal is positioned as an endorsement of a compensation framework aimed at incentivizing sustained strategic progress and long-term stockholder value creation while retaining oversight controls and transparency.
