  • RED FLAGS / risk indicators: None specific to Dykstra in proxy; note that Hub Group disclosed her passing on Sept 28, 2025, creating a board vacancy and potential committee rebalancing risk until replacement is appointed .
  • Shareholder support context: 2024 say-on-pay approval exceeded 98%, indicating broad investor support for compensation practices; positive for governance sentiment though focused on executives .
