ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the CD&A, compensation tables and narrative.
More detail
This management proposal requests a non-binding advisory approval ("Say on Pay") of the compensation of the company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy materials. Management seeks shareholder endorsement of its executive compensation program, citing alignment with performance measures (Adjusted EPS, loan and deposit growth, efficiency ratio, and TSR relative peer performance), retention via equity grants (time‑based and performance shares), and recent compensation adjustments. The Board recommends a vote FOR, noting strong prior support (98.5% approval in 2025) and that the Compensation Committee reviews peer benchmarking and uses an independent consultant (Aon). The proposal is routine and advisory, does not bind the Compensation Committee or Board, but the Board will consider the vote outcome when making future compensation decisions. The management justification emphasizes retention, alignment with long‑term stockholder value, and compensation governance measures including clawback policy, credit quality modifier, and independent compensation consultant.
