Governance Assessment
- Board effectiveness: Independence and Audit Committee Financial Expert status strengthens oversight; Audit Committee’s robust schedule (11 meetings in FY2024) indicates active financial risk oversight .
- Ownership alignment: Direct ownership is modest (<1%), but director equity is delivered via time-based RSAs/RSUs and subject to a 5× retainer ownership guideline over 5 years; hedging/pledging prohibited, supporting alignment .
- Compensation structure: Director pay is balanced between cash retainer ($100k in FY2024) and equity ($~185k fair value), aligned with peers and reviewed by independent consultant; equity is time-based with quarterly vesting, no performance metrics (appropriate for non-executive directors) .
- Conflicts/related-party exposure: Proxy’s related-party transactions section does not list any transactions involving Pumilia; MiTAC and Apollo arrangements are disclosed but unrelated to him (Apollo exited SNX in April 2024) .
- Shareholder signals: Company’s 2024 Say-on-Pay received ~96% approval, indicating broad investor support for compensation governance; clawback policy adopted per NYSE rules (financial restatements; 3-year lookback; MIP-specific recovery triggers) enhances accountability .
RED FLAGS
- None disclosed specific to Pumilia: no related-party transactions, no hedging/pledging, attendance met minimum thresholds; ownership is relatively small but within typical director ranges and subject to ownership guidelines .
Notes:
- Committee rosters and oversight responsibilities per proxy; Audit Committee Chair is Kathleen Crusco; Board Chair is independent (Ann Vezina) .
- Board refresh in 2025 includes Hau Lee retirement, reflecting ongoing governance updates .
