Election of three directors; advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Say-on-Pay); ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditors for FY 2027.
Elect three directors (Charles H. Cannon, Jr., David Dunbar, Michael A. Hickey) to serve three-year terms until the 2029 annual meeting.
Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis and compensation tables.
This non-binding management proposal asks shareholders to approve the Company’s executive compensation as disclosed in the proxy materials. Management seeks shareholder endorsement to validate its compensation philosophy—emphasizing pay-for-performance, significant at-risk compensation, and a mix of annual incentives and long-term equity tied to financial metrics (net sales, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS) and relative TSR modifiers for PSUs. The Board recommends a FOR vote because it believes the programs align executives’ interests with long-term shareholder value, mitigate excessive risk through balanced metrics, caps, and clawback provisions, and are competitive in the peer group. Although advisory and non-binding, a FOR vote provides the Board and Compensation Committee with support for continuing the current compensation practices; a negative vote would prompt the Board to reconsider program features. The proposal is routine but central to corporate governance and investor relations; management emphasizes that long-term incentives and stock ownership requirements align incentives and retention, while the Company’s recent say-on-pay results (98% in favor in 2025) indicate strong shareholder support.
Ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Standex’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2027.
