Investment Implications

  • Pay-for-performance alignment looks strong: Schiesl’s annual cash bonus rides on Adjusted EPS (75%) and FCF (25%) with a 100% formulaic payout in 2024, while LTI is 50% PSUs tied to Relative TSR vs S&P 500 Industrials, plus 25% RSUs and 25% options that vest over four years, creating retention hooks and market-linked outcomes .
  • Insider selling pressure: Schiesl exercised 84,945 options in 2024 (value realized $5.41mm) and had 26,817 RSUs vest ($2.35mm); while hedging/pledging is prohibited, ongoing vesting and exercises may create periodic liquidity events traders monitor .
  • Ownership alignment: Beneficial ownership of 64,078 shares with a robust 5x salary ownership guideline and 75% net-share retention until met; all NEOs in compliance as of Jan 1, 2025; no CIC gross‑ups and an NYSE‑compliant clawback mitigate governance risk .
  • Change‑of‑control economics: Double-trigger for RSUs/options and single-trigger for PSUs at CIC create meaningful potential vesting acceleration in sale scenarios; modeled totals for Schiesl reach $6.86mm under QT+CIC, relevant for M&A sensitivity analysis .
  • Execution risk: Legal/compliance leadership experience across Gardner Denver and IR aligns with continued strong financial performance and TSR, supporting confidence in governance and risk management; however, large annual equity grants and accelerated vesting mechanics can amplify compensation outcomes in high-TSR periods and should be benchmarked annually against peers to avoid pay inflation .
