Governance Assessment
- Strengths: Independent status; Chair of Compensation Committee with use of independent consultant and strong pay-governance features; Audit Committee membership with financial expert designation; robust attendance and active committee cadence; director equity aligned via RSUs/DSUs; stock retention policy compliance; anti-hedging policy; no related-party transactions disclosed involving Mariucci .
- Shareholder sentiment signal: Say-on-pay support was 96.0% at the 2024 annual meeting, indicating broad investor approval of TMHC’s compensation program oversight (context for governance credibility) .
- Potential risk indicators: Multiple current public company directorships (SWX, Centuri, Berry, plus CoreCivic retiring) elevate time-commitment considerations; mitigated by TMHC’s over-boarding policy and her long tenure and committee leadership record .
- Conflicts and related-party: No related-person transactions requiring Item 404 disclosure; Audit Committee reviews any such transactions under formal policy .
Overall, Mariucci’s committee leadership (Compensation Chair; Audit member), independent designation, and sector expertise support board effectiveness and alignment. Absence of disclosed conflicts and adherence to stock retention and trading policies bolster investor confidence, while breadth of outside roles warrants routine monitoring against over-boarding thresholds .
