Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORNon-binding advisory vote to approve compensation of named executive officers (Say-on-Pay).
More detail
This proposal requests a non-binding advisory approval of the company’s named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement. Management frames the pay program as designed to attract, motivate and retain talent and align pay with long-term stockholder value through a mix of base salary, STIP cash incentives measured by Adjusted EBITDA, Net Revenue and Customer Experience, and long-term equity awards (RSUs and PSUs tied to revenue and adjusted free cash flow). The compensation committee uses independent consultants and peer benchmarking; the CEO receives no compensation. The board recommends a "FOR" vote, citing program effectiveness and prior shareholder support (over 99% in 2025). The vote is advisory; the board will consider results in future compensation decisions but is not bound to implement them.
