Compensation Structure Analysis

  • Program shift to structured, at-risk pay: 2025 introduces defined Adjusted EBITDA and individual metrics for annual bonuses, plus PSUs tied to relative TSR and adjusted EPS — reinforcing multi-year performance alignment .
  • Robust governance: clawback policy, minimum vesting, no option repricing, and no single-trigger vesting promote shareholder-friendly discipline .
  • Special Outperformance PSUs (Nov 2024): very high TSR thresholds (threshold ≥15% CAGR; max ≥30% CAGR) and large value creation targets (~$7.3B–$16.7B) signal strong performance orientation; vesting staggered post-performance enhances retention .

Related Party Transactions and Governance Policies

  • Anti-hedging/anti-pledging policy: prohibits hedging/short-selling; margin accounts or pledges of company securities are prohibited (limited exceptions possible) .
  • Clawback: recovery upon restatement; potential time-based equity recoupment for gross misconduct contributing to restatement .
  • No related-party transactions disclosed involving Yoon; general related-person policy requires independent director review for transactions >$120,000 .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Yoon’s equity exposure consists of 3,506 RSUs vesting semiannually through Feb 2028, creating a steady retention mechanism and alignment with multi-year value creation . Anti-hedging/pledging restrictions and a stringent clawback framework reduce agency risk and discourage misaligned behaviors .
  • Ownership scale: Direct beneficial ownership is small relative to shares outstanding (~0.0034%), consistent with legal and governance roles; influence on trading signals likely comes from broader program signals (e.g., company-wide PSUs and performance metrics) rather than individual selling pressure .
  • Performance linkage: FTAI’s 2025 design focuses on Adjusted EBITDA, relative TSR, and adjusted EPS — metrics investors can track against disclosure cadence; the prior-year Outperformance PSUs further tie leadership incentives to outsized TSR outcomes .
