Proposals

On the ballot3

  1. 1

    Election of Directors

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Elect 10 directors to one-year terms ending at the 2027 Annual Meeting.

  2. 2

    Ratify Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026.

    More detail

    This management proposal asks shareholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Snap-on’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026. Management seeks shareholder ratification as a governance practice to allow shareholders to participate in the selection of the auditor, though the ratification is not binding; the Audit Committee remains responsible for appointment and may reconsider if shareholders reject the ratification. The committee’s recommendation is grounded on considerations of Deloitte’s qualifications, performance, independence, the audit engagement team (including review of the lead partner), quality of interactions and fee levels. This proposal is routine in nature and typically garners board support; the Board recommends a vote FOR, citing the committee’s evaluation and ongoing relationship with Deloitte since 2002. A rejection would signal shareholder dissatisfaction with auditor selection and could prompt the Audit Committee to reassess the engagement, potentially resulting in auditor change or enhanced engagement oversight. Audit fee disclosures and the Audit Committee Report provide additional context on services provided and pre-approval policies.

  3. 3

    Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.

    More detail

    This management proposal requests an advisory (non-binding) shareholder approval of the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the proxy statement (Say-on-Pay). The Board and the Organization and Executive Compensation Committee seek shareholder affirmation of the design and outcomes of the compensation program, which emphasizes pay-for-performance through annual incentives and long-term equity awards (PSUs, stock options, RSUs) tied to operating income, RONAEBIT and revenue growth metrics. Management argues that the program aligns executives’ interests with shareholder value creation, includes governance safeguards (clawbacks, stock ownership guidelines, double-trigger change-of-control arrangements, independent compensation consultant), and resulted in compensation outcomes responsive to Company performance (e.g., PSUs paid at 69.7% for the 2023–2025 cycle). The Board recommends a vote FOR. As an advisory vote, the outcome will be considered by the Committee in future compensation decisions but is not binding.
