Notes:

  • Proxy highlights macro headwinds and execution actions (restructuring, inventory reductions, product innovation) driving EPS and operating income improvements in 2024 .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Company-wide ownership guidelines, mandatory hold requirements, anti‑hedging policy, and clawback adoption reduce agency risk; all executive officers met ownership requirements as of April 1, 2025, supporting alignment for Coni despite lack of disclosed share count .
  • Incentive quality: EPS and business unit operating metrics drive annual and LTIP awards; TSR component paid zero for the 3‑year period ending 2023, indicating pay sensitivity to shareholder returns and reducing windfall risk .
  • Retention and vesting: LTIP RSUs vest over three years; double‑trigger change‑in‑control protection (when awards are assumed) balances retention with shareholder interests .
  • Disclosure gaps: Coni is not an NEO; specific base, bonus, RSU grants, ownership amounts, and Form 4 activity are not disclosed in the proxy. Monitoring future proxies and any 8‑K 5.02 filings is necessary to assess potential selling pressure and contract economics .
