Clawback Policy

  • Compensation recovery allows forfeiture/recovery of cash and equity incentive comp if an executive’s fraud or intentional illegal conduct materially contributed to a restatement; company maintains strong governance and risk controls .

Investment Implications

  • Pay-for-performance alignment: Sylvain’s incentive mix uses Adjusted Revenue, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, and Relative TSR multipliers across cash bonuses and PSUs, supporting alignment to revenue growth and shareholder returns; PSU weight for non-CEO NEOs increased to 30% of annual equity in 2024, increasing performance leverage .
  • Retention risk: Supplemental RSUs in Dec 2021 and sizeable ongoing RSU grants that vest over three years indicate active retention management; 2024 bonus paid “—” for Sylvain while equity remained robust, which could increase near-term liquidity needs but is mitigated by deferred compensation participation .
  • Insider selling pressure: 2023 vesting created 27,292 shares of supply for Sylvain; no option exercises; equity acceleration in CoC scenarios suggests material incremental supply under transactions, especially RSU acceleration .
  • Ownership alignment: Beneficial ownership below 1% but compliant with 3x salary ownership guidelines; anti-hedging policy in place; no pledging footnotes identified for Sylvain .
  • Execution track record: Finance leadership tenure spans a period of strong top-line expansion from $1.93B to $4.03B and rising net income, with five-year TSR normalizing in 2024 after outsized gains through 2023, consistent with PSU design benchmarking vs Nasdaq Composite/S&P Health Care Equipment indices .
