Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the CD&A and compensation tables.
More detail
This management proposal asks shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the Company’s named executive officer compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management (the Talent & Compensation Committee) seeks shareholder approval to validate its compensation framework that ties pay to performance using EPS, free cash flow, PSUs tied to CFVC and ROIC with an RTSR modifier, and a Sustainability and Performance Modifier affecting annual incentives. The Board recommends a vote for the proposal, arguing the program aligns executive incentives with shareholder value, emphasizes long-term performance through PSUs (80% weighting), includes governance safeguards like clawbacks and double-trigger change-in-control protections, and reflects shareholder feedback. The context: Republic delivered strong 2025 financial results, updated PSU metrics and LTI mix in 2025, and received 96.6% support on last year’s say-on-pay — management is using the advisory vote to affirm its approach and maintain engagement with shareholders. The vote is advisory and non-binding; the Committee will review results and consider them when making future compensation decisions.
