  • Alignment: Director pay mix is primarily fixed cash with modest annual RSUs (approx. $107.5k cash vs $16.6k equity for 2024), reinforcing prudent alignment without excessive risk; anti‑hedging/anti‑pledging policy strengthens shareholder alignment; director ownership guidelines (4x retainer) promote skin‑in‑the‑game .
  • Independence and conflicts: Board confirms Moore’s independence; related‑party transactions (including any insider loans) are subject to Audit Committee review and were conducted on market terms; no non‑banking business relationships with directors required consideration in 2024, and no Item 404 related‑party transactions disclosed for Moore—low conflict risk .
  • RED FLAGS: None apparent—no attendance issues, no hedging/pledging, no option repricings or related‑party exposures disclosed for Moore .

Overall signal: Moore’s role as independent Chair, legal/governance background, and conservative director pay structure support board effectiveness and investor confidence, with minimal conflict indicators in 2024–2025 disclosures .
