Governance Assessment
-
Strengths
- Independent Chair with deep supply chain/technology background; separation of Chair/CEO roles enhances oversight .
- Robust director stock ownership guideline (5x retainer) and hedging/margin restrictions support alignment .
- Transparent director pay structure; mix leans to equity (FY2025: $84k cash; $107.7k equity) aligning interests .
- No related‑party transactions involving Greer disclosed; Board conflicts policy in place .
- Strong Say‑on‑Pay support (~96% of votes cast), signaling investor confidence in pay design .
-
Watch items / RED FLAGS
- Greer’s director election received ~74% support of votes cast (lower than typical uncontested director support), indicating some shareholder dissent .
- One late Section 16 filing (administrative) noted in FY2025 .
- Private equity Operating Partner role (WCAS) could present theoretical conflicts if portfolio overlaps; mitigated by Board conflicts policy and no related‑party transactions disclosed .
- One open‑market sale in Feb 2025; while not unusual for directors, investors may monitor ongoing selling and ownership vs. guideline [table sources above] .
-
Committee effectiveness and engagement: Board met 6 times in FY2025; committee cadence appears active (Audit 4x; Compensation 9x; Nominating 5x). Each director met attendance thresholds (≥75%) .
