- Peer benchmarking targets ~50th percentile; independent consultant Pearl Meyer engaged; committee retains discretion and uses multiple safeguards (ownership guidelines, clawbacks) .
Risk Indicators & Red Flags
- Hedging/pledging prohibited; strict insider trading and preclearance requirements .
- Clawback policy adopted per SEC/Nasdaq; 3‑year lookback; recovery mandated for restatements .
- Section 16(a) delinquencies disclosed for other individuals; none specified for Marshall in 2024 disclosures .

Equity Ownership & Alignment

Investment Implications
- Alignment: Heavy weighting to rTSR PSUs and cash metrics (Net Revenue/Bonus EPS) indicates strong pay‑for‑performance discipline; clawbacks and ownership rules further align incentives with shareholders .
- Retention risk: Multi‑year vesting and double‑trigger CIC protections create retention stability; sizable unvested PSU/RSU stack and ownership retention rules temper near‑term selling pressure despite 2024 vesting proceeds .
- Execution track record: Finance leadership coincides with robust revenue expansion and high TSR; annual bonus outcomes reflect outperformance on cash metrics, suggesting balanced focus on growth and profitability .
- Governance and benchmarking mitigate inflation risk: Use of independent consultant, mid‑market targeting, and strong say‑on‑pay votes lower risk of pay ratcheting beyond performance .
