Governance Assessment

  • Strengths:

    • Financial governance acumen (former JPMorgan CFO), risk management, and capital markets expertise align with Compensation and SPP committee oversight needs .
    • Strong independence practices (100% independent committees; regular executive sessions; prohibition on hedging/pledging; clawbacks) bolster investor confidence .
    • Robust attendance across Board/Committees in 2024; no incumbent below 75%; signals engagement .
    • Shareholder support: strong “For” vote for Dublon’s re-election and a solid Say‑on‑Pay approval rate, indicating general confidence in governance and pay practices .
  • Potential Watch Items:

    • Long tenure (since 2005) can raise entrenchment concerns; Board mitigates via refreshment policies, mandatory retirement age of 75, and ongoing succession planning for committee chairs and Presiding Director .
    • No related-party transactions disclosed for Dublon; Compensation Committee explicitly notes no member relationships requiring disclosure other than Pohlad, which were reviewed for independence—reducing conflict risk .
  • Compensation Committee practices:

    • FW Cook engaged as independent advisor; committee assessed independence and conflicts per SEC/Nasdaq criteria; no conflicts found .
    • Executive officer cash severance policy adopted in 2024 (shareholder ratification threshold >2.99x salary+target bonus) reflects pay discipline and risk control—relevant to committee oversight where Dublon serves .

Overall, Dublon’s profile indicates high governance credibility: deep financial oversight expertise, independent posture, consistent engagement, and alignment via meaningful stock/phantom unit holdings under strict no-hedging rules and ownership requirements .
