Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
More detail
This is a routine advisory management proposal asking shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the Company’s executive compensation as disclosed in the proxy. Management seeks a favorable vote to confirm shareholder support for its compensation philosophy and practices, which emphasize linkage of pay to performance, long-term equity incentives, robust stock ownership guidelines, and risk-mitigating governance features. The Board and Compensation Committee describe detailed compensation elements (base salary, annual cash incentives tied to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted revenue, and long-term equity awards composed of performance stock units and restricted stock) and note the involvement of independent compensation consultants and peer-group benchmarking. Management’s rationale emphasizes recent strong company performance in 2025, alignment with shareholder interests, and historical strong shareholder support in prior say-on-pay votes. The Board recommends voting FOR this non-binding proposal, noting that it will consider the advisory vote results in future compensation decisions.
