- 2
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
ManagementBoard: FORAdvisory, non-binding 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 approval of the named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the CD&A, compensation tables and narrative. Management and the compensation committee frame compensation to align with the company’s culture, emphasize pay-for-performance and significant at-risk components, and use net sales, product margin and operating profit as the key short-term incentive metrics. The board recommends a vote FOR, citing strong prior shareholder support (99.4% in 2025) and the committee’s view that the program balances retention, pay-at-risk, and long-term equity alignment. The advisory vote is non-binding but the board will consider significant negative votes and may adjust practices. The proposal is routine in that it is an annual 'say-on-pay' advisory vote and involves extensive disclosure of compensation policies and outcomes; the recommendation rationale emphasizes alignment with shareholders, market benchmarking, and governance controls (clawback policy, independent consultant).
