- Engagement/attendance: Meets attendance expectations; Board held five meetings and all directors met the 75% minimum and attended the 2024 annual meeting—supports governance engagement .
- Pay‑for‑performance alignment: Robust AIP/LTIP metrics with calibrated thresholds, linear interpolation, safety multiplier, and double‑trigger CIC treatment; FW Cook engaged; no consultant conflicts; recent clawback adoption (Oct 2023) .

- Overboarding risk: Company policy limits board service; Campbell’s known external roles appear within policy bounds; ongoing annual independence review required .
