Governance Assessment
- Board effectiveness: Pelosi strengthens independence and governance rigor through dual chair roles (Nominating & Governance; Sustainability) and Audit Committee membership; her committees met frequently in 2024 (Nominating: 6; Sustainability: 4; Audit: 5), indicating active oversight .
- Alignment and incentives: Director pay is cash-heavy with time-based options; Pelosi’s 2024 cash ($250k) reflects leadership roles; equity vests over time without disclosed performance conditions—common for directors but lower “pay-for-performance” sensitivity versus executives .
- Conflicts/related-party risk: Company reports no related-party transactions >$120,000 in 2024; anti-hedging/pledging policy in place; her USANA directorship is in an unrelated industry; historical tie via EXPI GC’s prior USANA role is a network link, not a current conflict .
- Shareholder signals: EXPI improved governance post-controlled status and fully independent Compensation Committee by May 2024; say‑on‑pay support was ~95% in 2024, suggesting investor confidence in compensation oversight framework, though that pertains to executives more than directors .
RED FLAGS: None disclosed regarding related-party transactions, hedging/pledging, or attendance shortfalls; director equity is not performance-based, which is typical but provides limited performance linkage for directors .
