Investment Implications
- Pay-for-performance alignment: STIP tied to adjusted revenue/EPS with 0–200% payout range; 2024 payout at 117% of target evidences linkage to corporate/individual performance . Long-term PSUs tied to adjusted FCF, adjusted ROIC, and relative TSR with recent cycles vesting above target (146–200%), indicating execution against cash generation, capital efficiency, and relative return benchmarks .
- Retention and change-in-control economics: International executive agreement provides 24 months compensation on non-CoC termination and 2.99x salary+bonus plus full equity vesting upon CoC termination (within three years), reducing departure risk and aligning management focus through potential transactions .
- Insider selling pressure signals: FY2024 showed no option exercises and 17,407 shares vesting ($1.17M realized), suggesting limited forced selling from exercises; ongoing RSU/PSU schedules create predictable vesting flow to monitor for trading windows .
- Alignment and governance: 3x salary ownership guideline (5-year compliance window) and prohibition on hedging/pledging strengthen alignment; non-US status excludes Mr. Verstreken from DCP/DEP, reducing deferred settlement complexities versus US NEOs .
