What we heard | What we have done in response | |||
Interest in the direction of NEO compensation, including metrics used for NEO incentive-based compensation | Annual Bonus Equity Incentive Performance Metrics: The entire portion of all NEOs’ (including the CEO) targeted Annual Bonus Equity Incentive opportunities for 2024 was contingent upon the achievement of pre-established financial and operating metrics. This incentive is fully denominated and settled in shares of stock and is intended to replace a traditional cash bonus opportunity. Performance Linkages: The 2024 equity incentives to all of our NEOs were comprised at least 50% of performance-based incentives. These performance-based incentives were 100% contingent on the achievement of pre-established earnings per share, revenue and/or operating metrics. In 2024, after NEO target compensation was determined, Mr. Netto received tax equalization equity grants in connection with his relocation to the U.S. Due to the special nature of these equity grants, and that they were not contemplated when his 2024 target compensation was determined, they were excluded from his performance-based incentive calculation. | |||
The majority of NEO compensation should be performance-based | For 2025, we ensured more than 50% of all NEO equity incentives in the aggregate is performance- based. As noted above, the majority of all NEO equity incentives grant value in 2024 was similarly tied to the achievement of performance metrics. | |||
Long-term compensation should have longer measurement periods | We define long-term equity compensation as having a vest schedule that is greater than one year. For 2024 and 2025, a portion of long-term equity compensation has a performance measurement period of three years. | |||
Compensation structures should align with value creation | For 2024, equity incentives were granted 100% in the form of equity-based awards that are settled in the form of shares. We did not offer a traditional cash bonus opportunity to our NEOs and instead provided a short-term incentive opportunity in the form of an equity-based award (referred to as the Annual Bonus Equity Incentive). A portion of our NEOs’ targeted equity incentive opportunities are tied to the achievement of pre-established financial metrics that directly contribute to long-term shareholder value creation. Demonstrating our commitment to aligning NEOs’ incentive earnings with shareholder value creation, for 2024, as the pre-established financial metrics were not achieved, the compensation committee used negative discretion to reduce the Annual Bonus Equity Incentive against the Annual Bonus Equity Incentive program formulaic results. | |||
CEO compensation structure should help ensure long- term retention | In 2024, we provided the CEO with long-term equity awards, a portion of which has a performance measurement period of three years. | |||
Compensation for NEOs should have a total shareholder return component | We continue to believe the performance metrics we have chosen for our equity incentives are directly aligned with the creation of shareholder value, and are therefore the most appropriate metrics in the near-term. We have considered the use of relative total shareholder return ("TSR"), but have found that there are too few companies in our direct operating space that present the opportunity for reliable and statistically relevant comparisons of TSR over a three-year period. We intend to continue to review the possibility of adding relative TSR as a metric in coming years, and are receptive to doing so in the event that reliable comparisons are available. At target, and on average, over 90% of NEO compensation is settled in shares of stock, implicitly incorporating a TSR component. | |||
Disclosure should provide context for why the Company selects particular performance metrics for incentive-based compensation | In direct response to shareholder input, we have substantially enhanced our disclosure of our incentive metrics in this year’s Proxy Statement. As noted throughout this Proxy Statement, a portion of our NEOs’ equity incentives are tied to the achievement of the financial and operating metrics that best align with shareholder value creation. | |||
