Compensation Structure Notes

  • Incentive plan design emphasizes performance-based pay: 2024 MIP tied to EBITDA achievement; starting 2025, MIP adds EPS alongside Adjusted EBITDA .
  • LTIP was a two-year cash plan tied to per-interest equity value; it was accelerated and terminated after the 2024 payment cycle .
  • Equity grants are time-based restricted stock with four-year pro-rata vesting; double-trigger pro-rata acceleration for termination following a change in control .
  • Governance protections include a robust clawback policy and an anti-hedging rule; company prohibits repricing/buyouts of underwater options without shareholder approval .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Nelson’s equity position and strict ownership guidelines (which count unvested restricted stock) indicate strong ongoing alignment; her unvested RSUs alone exceeded the ownership requirement at year-end 2024, and hedging is prohibited .
  • Selling pressure: Four-year RSU vesting plus a one-year post-vest sale lock-up materially moderates near-term insider supply; any acceleration requires both a change-in-control and termination (double-trigger), reducing forced selling scenarios .
  • Retention risk: Severance is modest (nine months base salary) but long tenure and equity unvested tranches reduce near-term departure risk; non-compete/non-solicit at two years strengthens retention/transition protection .
  • Pay-for-performance signals: 2025 shift to EPS with Adjusted EBITDA increases earnings quality focus; monitor quarterly progress vs. EPS/Adjusted EBITDA to assess payout sensitivities and potential discretionary adjustments (plan permits adjustments for unusual items) .
  • Options risk: No options outstanding and repricing prohibitions limit dilution/optics risk; equity is in RSUs, which are less levered than options and generally lower risk from a shareholder dilution standpoint .
