Investment Implications

  • Alignment and upside exposure: Pay mix ties Curran’s incentives to profitability (AOI) and quality of revenue, with PSUs earned at 107% and structured multi-year vesting—supportive of execution continuity and margin discipline .
  • Retention risk appears contained: Robust severance/CIC protections (double-trigger, 1.5× salary+target bonus) plus ongoing TBRSU/PSU vesting reduce near-term departure risk; non-compete enforceable with continued pay further mitigates transitions .
  • Trading signals: RSU tranches vest in May 2026 and May 2027, and time-based awards vest annually—monitor Form 4 filings around these dates for potential incremental supply; FY2025 vesting demonstrated tangible releases (30,156 shares) .
  • Governance quality: No hedging/pledging, active clawback policy, >90% say-on-pay support, and independent consultant engagement indicate strong oversight—lower governance red flags and better pay-for-performance credibility .
