Board Governance
- Committee memberships (current): The October 2025 special meeting proxy does not enumerate current committee assignments for Schreiber . Historical committee roles include Chair of the Compensation Committee and service on Audit and Nominating/Governance committees in predecessor entities .
- Attendance: In 2021, directors then in office attended at least 75% of Board and committee meetings, with one exception (Uzonwanne); this indicates generally solid attendance patterns across the board during that period .
- Independence status: The special meeting proxy does not state independence status for Schreiber; note that he previously held executive roles (Executive Chairman, CEO/President) and later served as a special advisor, which is relevant context when assessing independence in current periods .
Fixed Compensation
- Not disclosed for non-employee directors in the October 2025 special meeting proxy; that document focuses on capital structure proposals and plan amendments rather than director retainers or cash fees .
Performance Compensation
- Equity awards are governed under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan; on November 14, 2025, shareholders approved the Second Amendment increasing available shares to 1,400,000 .
- The plan permits RSUs, options, SARs, performance awards, and other equity-based grants to non-employee directors and key personnel, with clawback/recoupment and no option/SAR repricing without shareholder approval .
| Performance Metrics Framework (Plan) | Selected Criteria |
|---|---|
| Examples of performance criteria used for awards under the Plan | Revenue, EBITDA, EPS, gross margin, ROE/ROA, cash flow, market share, stock price/TSR, strategic milestones (M&A), customer satisfaction, safety, productivity |

Governance Assessment
- Committee assignments and chair roles: Historical leadership of the Compensation Committee and service on Audit/Nominating committees demonstrate governance experience; current committee roles are not detailed in the 2025 special meeting proxy, limiting assessment of present influence .
- Independence and prior executive roles: Prior service as Executive Chairman and CEO/President and subsequent special advisor engagement suggest independence sensitivities; investors should monitor current committee placements (particularly audit/compensation) for potential conflicts or overhang from past management roles .
- Ownership alignment: Beneficial ownership is modest (<1%), primarily via RSUs; alignment exists but is not substantial in percentage terms, increasing the importance of equity award design and performance linkage under the Plan .
- Compensation governance quality: The Plan includes a clawback/recoupment framework and prohibits option/SAR repricing without shareholder approval, which are positive governance features for pay-for-performance oversight .
- Capital structure and dilution risk: 2025 proposals approved by shareholders (Series H/I preferred, warrants, advisory/milestone securities) materially increase potential dilution and voting complexity; board oversight of issuance thresholds, anti-dilution features, and investor warrant mechanics will be critical to investor confidence .
RED FLAGS to monitor
- Prior executive/special advisor ties in a current director can challenge perceived independence if committee assignments include compensation or audit .
- Significant potential dilution from preferred stock and warrants requires vigilant governance around shareholder rights and anti-dilution adjustments .
- Absent recent disclosure of director cash retainers/fees and attendance metrics, transparency on current board effectiveness is limited in the 2025 special meeting proxy .
