Performance Compensation
- FY2025 short‑term incentive design for non‑CEO NEOs (including CFO):
- Step 1 (Corporate metrics): Revenue target $512m and Adjusted EBITDA target $244m, 50%/50% weighting; results exceeded $563m revenue and $268m adjusted EBITDA, triggering Step 1 maximum (110% of target) .
- Step 2 (Individual performance): CEO assessment could modify payout to 0–120% of target; CFO’s actual FY2025 payout was $421,296 vs. $350,000 target .
| Metric | Weighting | FY2025 Target | FY2025 Actual/Result | Payout Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated Revenue | 50% | $512m | Exceeded $563m → max step result | Step 1 max (110%) |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 50% | $244m | Exceeded $268m → max step result | Step 1 max (110%) |
| Individual Performance (CFO) | Modifier | — | Assessed by CEO | Reflected in $421,296 payout |
Long‑term incentives:
- FY2025: CFO did not receive a new equity refresh grant; Compensation Committee deemed existing equity sufficient .
- FY2024: CFO granted 104,091 RSUs on 2/15/2024 (grant-date fair value $3,158,121); vests 1/8 quarterly following grant date .
| Grant Year | Instrument | Grant Date | Shares/Target | Grant-Date Fair Value | Vesting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | — | — | — | — | — (no new award) |
| FY2024 | RSU | 2/15/2024 | 104,091 | $3,158,121 | 1/8 quarterly post 2/15/2024 |
Additional context on performance alignment:
- For incentive plans, Adjusted EBITDA is defined per company policy (excludes SBC, acquisition-related items, restructuring, etc.) and was used alongside revenue; both exceeded maximum FY2025 thresholds for the year .

- Class A shares beneficially owned: 313,011

Outstanding awards (as of March 31, 2025):
| Type | Details | Status as of 3/31/2025 |
|---|---|---|

| Options | 22,334 Ex / 3,334 Unex @ $2.21 (exp. 9/28/2030) | Outstanding |
| Options | 51,666 Ex / 28,334 Unex @ $4.12 (exp. 12/21/2030) | Outstanding |

Vesting cadence and potential supply:
- The 2/15/2024 RSU grant vests 1/8 quarterly following the vesting start; as of 3/31/2025, remaining installments continue to vest quarterly through approximately early 2026 (subject to continued service) .
- FY2025 realized liquidity: 383,942 option shares exercised ($16,864,229 realized) and 52,046 RSU shares vested ($2,410,920 realized) .
Alignment policies and practices:
- Hedging, short sales, and pledging of company stock are prohibited for employees and directors (one‑time pledging exception applied only to CEO and was terminated May 2025) .
- Robust clawback policy adopted Oct 26, 2023, applies to current and former executive officers for erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation upon a required restatement .
- Use of Rule 10b5‑1 plans is encouraged for executives and directors .
Employment Terms
- Employment is at‑will; CFO’s amended offer letter (Feb 4, 2021) provides for double‑trigger equity acceleration (100% of unvested equity) upon a termination without Cause or a Constructive Termination within 12 months following a Change in Control .
- Estimated value of accelerated vesting for CFO upon such a qualifying termination as of March 31, 2025: $11,157,476 (based on $58.03 share price) .
- No separate cash severance for CFO is disclosed outside the change‑in‑control context .
Additional Compensation Governance Context
- Say‑on‑pay support was 98.6% at the 2024 annual meeting; no changes were made to the FY2025 executive compensation program as a result .
- FY2025 benchmarking peer group (21 companies) spans application software and healthcare technology; selection criteria include revenue $225m–$1.2b, market cap $1.5b–$13b, and 300–3,000 employees .
- Company prohibits hedging/pledging and maintains a clawback policy; ESPP and 401(k) match up to $3,000 are available broadly (no executive‑only perqs) .
Performance & Track Record Indicators
- Fiscal 2025 performance (compensation‑relevant): Revenue $570.4m; net income $223.2m . Incentive metrics exceeded maximum thresholds for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA in FY2025 .
- TSR context: Cumulative TSR value was 109.49 as of FY2025 end on the company’s pay‑versus‑performance table methodology .
- FY2025 pay mix shift: CFO total reported compensation decreased to $825,394 from $3,866,207 in FY2024, reflecting absence of a new equity award in FY2025 (FY2024 included a $3.16m RSU grant) .
Risk Indicators & Red Flags
- Trading/overhang: Significant option exercises in FY2025 (383,942 shares; $16.86m realized) indicate recent insider liquidity; remaining unexercised options and scheduled RSU vesting represent ongoing potential supply .
- Hedging/pledging: Prohibitions mitigate misalignment risk; no pledging exceptions disclosed for the CFO .
- Clawback: Formal policy in place covering executives for restatements .
- Legal backdrop: The company and certain directors/officers are defendants in securities and derivative actions initiated in 2024; defendants intend to defend vigorously (no CFO‑specific allegation breakdown in proxy) .
Compensation Structure Analysis
- Year‑over‑year mix: CFO’s FY2024 package was equity‑heavy (RSU grant of 104,091; $3.16m grant-date fair value), while FY2025 compensation was predominantly cash (base + bonus) with no new equity grant .
- Incentive design: Cash incentives tied explicitly to revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with outcomes scaled to performance (corporate thresholds and CEO‑assessed individual performance) .
- Ownership alignment: Meaningful direct holdings, outstanding options, and continuing RSU vesting; hedging/pledging prohibitions and clawback support alignment .

Investment Implications
- Alignment and pay‑for‑performance: CFO’s cash incentive design is anchored to revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with FY2025 over‑target payout reflecting corporate over‑achievement and individual performance, reinforcing alignment with operating outcomes .
- Supply/dilution watch: Significant FY2025 option exercises and ongoing RSU vesting suggest continued, though moderating, potential insider supply; CFO had no new FY2025 equity grant, reducing incremental overhang versus FY2024 .
- Retention and M&A dynamics: Double‑trigger CoC acceleration provides protection in a change‑in‑control scenario and could influence retention and negotiation dynamics around strategic transactions; no separate CFO cash severance outside CoC is disclosed .
- Governance risk mitigants: Prohibitions on hedging/pledging, a formal clawback policy, and robust say‑on‑pay support (98.6%) indicate shareholder‑friendly guardrails around pay and conduct .
