Equity Ownership & Alignment

ItemDataSource
Beneficial ownership (shares)34,963 (includes 5,297 RSUs vesting within 60 days)
Ownership as % outstanding<1% (denoted by “*” in table)
Stock ownership guideline5x base salary for Ms. Gray
Compliance with guidelineAll NEOs were in compliance as of July 1, 2025
Hedging / PledgingInsider Trading Policy prohibits hedging; no pledging disclosed in proxy
Sale restrictions until compliantExecutives may sell only half of net shares from vesting until full compliance

Insider selling pressure context:

  • Multiple RSU tranches vest annually each October; however, policy requires retaining half of net vest shares until guideline is fully met, dampening near-term sale flow .
  • PRSUs concentrate vesting at performance period end (in FY2027 for FY2025 grants), creating potential event-driven supply but aligned with longer-term performance .

Investment Implications

  • Pay-for-performance alignment: Ms. Gray’s 2025 bonus outcomes and LTI design tightly link pay with U.S. Operations profitability/margin and 3-year cash flow, reinforcing value-creation through disciplined growth and cash conversion .
  • Retention risk: Moderate. She has sizeable unvested RSUs/PRSUs across 2022–2024 grants and a 5x salary ownership requirement, with continued vesting provisions tied to non-compete/nonsolicit, supporting retention and alignment .
  • Selling pressure: Manageable. Annual RSU vesting could add periodic supply, but mandatory retention of half of net vested shares until guideline compliance and the concentration of PRSU vesting at cycle-end temper near-term disposition risk .
  • Change-in-control economics: No individual CIC agreement; cash severance limited (6 months base on non-CIC termination), with double-trigger equity—balanced shareholder protections without excessive cash obligations .
  • Governance quality: Robust clawbacks, no tax gross-ups, no option repricings, and strong shareholder support on Say-on-Pay reduce red-flag risk and indicate healthy compensation oversight .
