Election of eight directors; advisory approval of named executive officer compensation (say-on-pay); ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors.
Elect eight directors to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors qualify.
Non-binding, advisory 'say-on-pay' resolution to approve compensation of named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.
This management proposal asks stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote approving the company’s executive compensation as disclosed under Item 402 of Regulation S-K (the 'say-on-pay' vote). Management seeks shareholder endorsement of its compensation philosophy — which emphasizes alignment with long-term stockholder value through a heavy weighting of at-risk equity, including performance shares tied to three-year total stockholder return vs. peers, and time-vesting restricted stock — to validate its approach for attracting, retaining and motivating key executives. The board recommends a vote FOR, arguing the program’s design ties pay to multi-year TSR relative to the MSCI U.S. REIT Index and FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index, uses high-reach formulaic metrics, and includes clawback and governance features; it also notes strong prior shareholder support and that advisory votes will inform future compensation decisions. The vote is advisory and not binding; however, management indicates it values investor feedback and will consider results in future pay determinations. The proposal’s significance stems from executive pay magnitude and risk alignment, the use of peer-relative TSR metrics that may yield large payouts in outperformance scenarios, and potential reputational implications if shareholder opposition is significant.
Ratify Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2026.
