Governance Assessment

  • Key strengths:

    • Deep healthcare capital markets and governance expertise; serves on Audit and Nominating committees at a public company (Steve Madden), indicating financial and governance competency .
    • Compliance & Quality Committee membership aligns with AGL’s regulatory/compliance risk profile (Medicare Advantage focus, data/privacy, clinical quality) .
    • Board and committee attendance met policy thresholds in 2024 (≥75%) .
  • Risks and potential conflicts (RED FLAGS):

    • Not independent; CD&R partner and Vice Chairman while CD&R retains board designation rights and significant shareholding—elevated sponsor influence risk and potential conflicts in strategic/transactional decisions .
    • No director cash or equity compensation and exclusion from stock ownership guidelines for CD&R-affiliated directors—reduced pay/ownership alignment with public stockholders for this director .
    • Indemnification agreements with CD&R entities could raise perceived conflict/recourse concerns if sponsor-linked matters arise .
  • Shareholder context:

    • 2024 say-on-pay support was ~93.4%, signaling broad investor acceptance of executive compensation design despite operational headwinds; however, this pertains to executives, not director pay alignment for sponsor-affiliated directors .
  • Overall implication for board effectiveness:

    • Sachdev contributes materially to finance/M&A and healthcare industry oversight, and engages on compliance/quality—valuable in a complex MA environment .
    • Governance optics warrant monitoring: sponsor influence (designation rights), non-independence, lack of personal equity alignment, and indemnification structures should be assessed in the context of major transactions, capital allocation, and related-party safeguards (noting the company reports no related-party transactions since 12/31/2023) .
