Past Roles

External Roles

No external directorships or public-company board roles are disclosed in PAHC’s proxy materials for Lisa Escudero .

Fixed Compensation

Escudero is not listed among PAHC’s Named Executive Officers (NEOs) for FY2023–FY2025; her individual base salary, target bonus, and actual bonus are not itemized in the Summary Compensation Tables and related narratives .

Performance Compensation

PAHC states “many of our executive compensation programs apply broadly across our executive ranks,” indicating non-NEO executives typically participate in programs governed by these measures even when individual payouts are not separately disclosed .

Equity Ownership & Alignment

• Individual beneficial ownership for Escudero is not itemized in the security ownership tables; those tables list directors and NEOs individually, plus a combined total for directors and executive officers as a group, but do not break out Escudero specifically .
• Company currently does not grant stock options or option-like instruments; equity awards are seldom awarded to Non-PEO NEOs and have been limited, with a 2025 RSU grant to NEOs (three-year vesting from August 1, 2025) to retain and align interests; no such RSU disclosure is made for Escudero .
• Insider Trading Policy: “Senior Personnel” (including directors) must pre-clear transactions and are prohibited from engaging in derivative securities (options, warrants, SARs, etc.) other than securities received via company compensatory programs .
• Hedging/Pledging: The cited Insider Trading Policy section prohibits derivatives; pledging is not explicitly addressed in the cited text, and no pledging by Escudero is disclosed in the proxy .

Employment Terms

• Start date: March 2017; current role Senior Vice President, Human Resources .
• Non-compete / Non-solicit: PAHC employment agreements for certain NEOs include noncompete and nonsolicitation provisions during employment and for one year thereafter; while this section references NEOs, it indicates customary restrictive covenants at the company level .
• Clawback Policy: Adopted to comply with Exchange Act Section 10D and Nasdaq listing standards; enables recovery of certain incentive compensation from officers and senior executives in the event of a restatement (lookback: three fiscal years) .
• Insider Trading Pre-clearance: Senior Personnel must obtain pre-clearance; prohibited from derivative transactions involving PAHC equity securities .
• Severance / Change-in-Control: Specific severance or CIC terms are disclosed for certain NEOs but not for Escudero; her individual arrangements are not disclosed in proxy materials .

Performance & Track Record

These company outcomes frame the environment during Escudero’s tenure leading HR; PAHC explicitly uses Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Net Sales to link executive compensation to performance .

Board Governance (for context)

• Compensation Committee: Sam Gejdenson (Chair), Alejandro Bernal, Carol A. Wrenn .
• Audit Committee: E. Thomas Corcoran (Chair), Sam Gejdenson, Carol A. Wrenn .

Compensation Committee Analysis & Policies

• Company does not currently grant option-like instruments and has no timing policy for such awards; if reintroduced, the Board will evaluate appropriate steps .
• Clawback policy and risk assessment processes in place; external consultant FW Cook assisted in risk review of executive compensation practices .

Investment Implications

• Pay-for-performance alignment at PAHC is structurally tied to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Net Sales; however, Escudero’s individual compensation components and payouts are not disclosed given she is not an NEO, limiting direct analysis of her incentive alignment versus outcomes .
• Equity-related selling pressure appears limited at the company level due to the absence of option grants and restrictions on derivative transactions; individual RSU holdings for Escudero are not disclosed, reducing visibility into vesting-related supply risk .
• Governance controls (clawback and transaction pre-clearance) reduce misconduct and trading-risk signals; absence of pledging disclosure for Escudero is neutral-to-positive, though pledging policy language was not explicit in cited sections .
• Retention risk cannot be quantified from proxies; company-level restrictive covenants (noncompete/nonsolicit) apply to certain executives for one year post-employment, and HR leadership continuity since 2017 suggests organizational stability, but specific severance/CIC economics for Escudero are not available .
