  • Attendance and engagement: In 2024 the Board held 9 meetings; Audit 4; N&CG 7; each director attended at least 75% of Board and applicable committee meetings. Non‑employee directors hold private executive sessions at the end of most Board meetings; Audit and N&CG also meet in executive session with Internal Audit and Compliance leaders, respectively .
  • Lead Independent Director: When the Chair is non‑independent, a Lead Independent Director is appointed (currently Julie McHugh) to preside over executive sessions and other duties per guidelines .

Governance Assessment

  • Strengths

    • Independent director with deep radiopharmaceutical finance experience and designated Audit Committee Financial Expert; serves on two core governance committees (Audit; N&CG) .
    • Documented engagement: Board/committee cadence and executive sessions; each director ≥75% attendance in 2024; encourages robust oversight and independent discussion .
    • Pay alignment: Mix of cash/equity with standardized annual RSU/option grants; clear director ownership guideline and strict prohibition on hedging/pledging support long‑term alignment .
    • Compensation governance: Independent consultant (Pearl Meyer) reviews director pay; modest retainer increases based on benchmarking .
    • Broader shareholder sentiment: 2024 say‑on‑pay support ~97% (executive pay context), signaling general investor confidence in compensation governance .
  • Watch items / potential risks

    • Classified board structure is under shareholder scrutiny (2025 shareholder proposal to declassify; Board made no recommendation), indicating ongoing governance debate at the company level (not specific to Mäusli) .
    • No specific related‑party transactions involving Mr. Mäusli surfaced in the proxy excerpts reviewed; the Audit Committee oversees a formal related person transaction policy (continue to monitor) .
  • Summary: Mäusli brings relevant domain and financial oversight expertise, sits on key governance committees, and operates under strong alignment and trading policies. Current disclosures present no red flags on independence, attendance, or conflicts for Mäusli; overall indicators are supportive of investor confidence in his board effectiveness .
