Board Service & Governance

  • Role: Director since March 2023; nominated to move from Class B to Class C director at the 2025 Annual Meeting to balance classified board seats .
  • Independence: McCann is not independent (as CEO); all other named directors were deemed independent under Nasdaq in 2024 .
  • Board leadership: Independent Chair (Joshua S. Horowitz) effective after 2024 Annual Meeting; Executive and Finance Committees disbanded thereafter to streamline oversight .
  • Committee roles: McCann served on the Finance Committee in 2023 prior to its disbandment; no current committee assignments disclosed for him .
  • Attendance: The full Board held eight meetings in 2024; each incumbent director attended at least 75% of Board and committee meetings .

Dual-role implications:

  • CEO + Director structure mitigated by independent Chair, independent Compensation Committee, anti-hedging/pledging, clawback, and double-trigger CIC design .

Performance & Track Record

IndicatorDetail
2024 operating performanceAdjusted EBITDA $63.7m vs $52.0m target (145.05% payout) .
Multi-year LTI outcome2022 PRSUs paid at 150% (49,408 shares; $3.41m value at $68.92 on 3/10/2025) .
SOX certificationsCEO executed Section 302/906 certifications for Q3 2025 10-Q (filed Nov 4, 2025) .

Compensation Structure Analysis

  • Mix shift and pay-for-performance: 2024 total comp $2.82m (Salary $0.70m; Stock Awards $1.08m; STI $1.02m), up from 2023 ($2.02m) and 2022 ($1.13m), with a larger equity and performance-linked component, consistent with pay-for-performance design and above-target results .
  • Strong alignment mechanisms: 3x salary stock ownership guideline with 20.0x actual multiple; prohibition on hedging/pledging; clawback policy; no option repricing or single-trigger CIC .
  • Governance: Independent Compensation Committee uses independent consultant (CAP) and regularly reviews peer group and risk; annual Say-on-Pay .

Risk Indicators & Red Flags

  • Red flags mitigated: No hedging/pledging; no excise tax gross-ups; double-trigger CIC; equity awards subject to gates and performance certification; no pension/SERP .
  • Potential selling pressure: Significant vesting/settlements occurred in 2024 (gross 46,497 shares; net 30,282 after withholding), and meaningful unvested RSUs/PRSUs remain with scheduled vesting and performance periods through 2026, which can create periodic liquidity events tied to vesting windows .

Employment Terms (Key Clauses Summary)

ClauseSummary
Bonus determinationSTI based on objective goals; for 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was the financial metric; Committee discretion applies; gating factors for LTI .
Noncompete/Non-solicitNot disclosed in proxy .
Auto-renewal/termAt-will employment; promotion letter outlines compensation eligibility .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment and retention: Very high ownership (1.5% of common; 20.0x salary guideline multiple) and strict anti-hedging/pledging support investor alignment and reduce agency risk; robust clawback and double-trigger CIC terms further safeguard shareholders .
  • Incentive design drives results: 2024 STI paid at 145% on EBITDA outperformance, and 2022 PRSUs paid at 150%, indicating management’s ability to meet/exceed financial goals; continued multi-year PRSU structures keep focus on longer-term value creation .
  • Near-term supply from vesting is structured: Calendarized RSU/PRSU vesting and prior significant releases can create trading windows but are balanced by ownership requirements and prohibitions on hedging/pledging .
  • Governance offsets dual role: Although CEO also serves as a Director, independent Chair, independent committees, and elimination of legacy committees improve oversight quality .
