Governance Assessment

  • Strengths and alignment: Independent director with long tenure and deep legal/M&A expertise; chairs governance; serves on audit and legal/compliance committees (risk oversight and related-party review), with regular committee activity (Audit 5x, Governance 4x, Legal & Compliance 4x in FY2025) and at least 75% attendance at Board/committee meetings . Strong ownership and an RSU deferral election indicate long-term alignment; anti-hedging/pledging policy strengthens investor confidence .
  • Compensation structure: Director pay is modestly sized and balanced (cash fees consistent with committee roles; equity as one-year RSUs), no performance-based metrics for directors—reduces risk of short-term focus .
  • Conflicts/related-party: Audit Committee oversees and approves related-party transactions; Cavco reports no related person transactions in FY2025 and none proposed—reducing conflict risk .
  • Shareholder signals: Say-on-pay approval >98% in 2024 reflects broad investor support for compensation practices; clawback policy in place .
  • Considerations: Long tenure (since 2008) supports continuity but merits ongoing board refreshment monitoring; historical Cavco GC role (via Centex) underscores company knowledge but requires continued independence vigilance (Board affirmed independence) .

RED FLAGS: None identified in proxy—no related-party transactions, no pledging/hedging, acceptable attendance, and independent status affirmed .

Board Governance

  • Committee memberships:
    • Chair: Corporate Governance & Nominating
    • Member: Audit; Legal & Compliance Oversight
  • Independence status: Independent director
  • Board meeting attendance: At least 75% participation; 4 Board meetings FY2025; independent executive sessions held regularly
