Board Governance

  • Board/attendance: LTH Board met six times in 2024; every director attended at least 75% of Board and committee meetings during their service period .
  • Committee assignments (2024):
    • Compensation Committee member (4 meetings in 2024) .
    • Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee member (3 meetings in 2024) .
  • Independence: Determined independent; Board reviewed ordinary-course purchases from TPG/LGP portfolio companies and concluded no impact on independence (each <2% of vendor gross revenues; none of Coslet/Danhakl/Galashan/Hackwell own ≥10% of employer or portfolio companies) .
  • Controlled company status: Principal stockholders collectively own >50% of voting power; LTH uses certain NYSE “controlled company” exemptions, and Compensation and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees are not composed entirely of independent directors .
  • Nomination rights/interlocks:
    • TPG holds a nomination right; Coslet is the designated TPG nominee .
    • After a March 3, 2025 secondary offering, TPG ownership fell to 13.7%; the Board chose not to request resignations of Coslet or Hackwell despite reduced nomination entitlements, citing both as “valuable” .
  • 16b-3 administration: Because the Compensation Committee is not comprised entirely of “non-employee directors,” a non-employee subcommittee is used for Section 16b-3 matters .

Say-on-Pay & Shareholder Feedback (Context)

  • 2024 Say‑on‑Pay support exceeded 96%, indicating strong shareholder approval of executive pay design overseen by the Compensation Committee (of which Coslet is a member) .

Governance Assessment

  • Positives

    • Independent director; serves on key oversight committees (Compensation; Nominating & Corporate Governance) .
    • Attendance at or above threshold; Board met six times in 2024; committees were active (Comp 4; NCG 3) .
    • Strong investor signal on pay: >96% Say‑on‑Pay support in 2024 .
    • Anti‑hedging/pledging policy strengthens alignment with shareholders .
  • Watch items / RED FLAGS

    • Controlled company status with committee independence exceptions; Compensation and NCG Committees are not entirely independent, necessitating a 16b‑3 non‑employee subcommittee for certain approvals .
    • TPG nomination rights and influence: Coslet is TPG’s nominee; despite TPG falling to 13.7% ownership post Mar 3, 2025 offering, the Board retained both Coslet and Hackwell—beneficial for continuity, but it underscores sponsor influence on board composition .
    • Related‑party spend with TPG/LGP portfolio companies (millions of dollars in aggregate for 2024) poses perceived conflict risk; Board concluded thresholds and structures preserved independence, but continued monitoring is warranted .
    • Low “skin‑in‑the‑game”: No reported beneficial ownership for Coslet and no LTH-paid director cash/equity compensation; while consistent with policy for sponsor‑nominated directors, this limits direct shareholder-aligned exposure at the individual director level .
  • Implications for investors

    • Coslet brings deep private equity and public board experience relevant to capital allocation and incentive design, which is additive on the Compensation and NCG Committees .
    • Governance risk profile is shaped by controlled-company status and sponsor ties; ongoing scrutiny of related‑party transactions and committee independence is prudent, especially given the committee roles where Coslet serves .
