Equity Ownership & Alignment
- Stock ownership guidelines: CEO 5x salary; other executive officers 2x salary; must attain within 5 years and retain 100% of net shares until compliant; unvested RSUs/PRSUs count toward guidelines .
- Anti-hedging and anti-pledging: Directors and officers are prohibited from hedging and pledging Superior stock .
- Double-trigger equity vesting: Equity awards vest upon change in control only if not assumed by successor or if terminated without cause/resigns for good reason within two years post-CIC (PRSUs vest at target) .
The proxy notes no related party transactions in 2024; the 8‑K confirms no family relationships or material interests for Mr. Giebel in transactions requiring Item 404(a) disclosure .
Employment Terms
- Appointment: Named principal financial officer and Interim CFO effective July 16, 2025, to facilitate transition upon CFO departure .
- Additional duties: Assumed interim principal accounting officer responsibilities following CAO resignation effective August 29, 2025 .
- Compensation changes tied to appointment: $5,000/month stipend during interim CFO tenure (prorated) and a $50,000 cash retention award vesting December 31, 2025; all other compensation terms unchanged .
- Certifications: Executed SOX 302 and 906 certifications in Q2 2025 10‑Q as Interim CFO .
- Change-in-control framework: Company’s CIC plan provides 2x salary+target bonus lump sum for plan participants terminated without cause/resign for good reason within two years of CIC; equity awards accelerated under double-trigger or if not assumed .
Investment Implications
- Retention and selling pressure: The $50,000 retention award vesting on Dec 31, 2025 and interim stipend indicate incentives to remain through year-end 2025; anti‑hedging/anti‑pledging policy reduces opportunistic trading and pledging risk .
- Pay-for-performance alignment: Annual incentive funding at 63.2% of target on sub‑target EBITDA and PRSU payouts tied to TSR/Net Debt (96.63% overall for 2022–2024) reflect disciplined linkage of variable pay to outcomes; suggests limited discretionary bonuses in weaker years .
- Change‑of‑control economics: Company’s double‑trigger vesting and CIC severance plan standardize outcomes; with a pending transaction landscape, finance leadership roles (Interim CFO/PAO) can be pivotal, but Mr. Giebel’s individual participation terms are not disclosed .
- Governance risk checks: No related party transactions disclosed for 2024 and explicit anti‑hedging/anti‑pledging and clawback policies mitigate alignment risks .
