  • Alignment & Pay Structure:

    • Standard low-risk director pay structure with majority equity (time-based RSUs); annual cash $100,000 and equity $140,000; equity vests on tenure rather than performance, typical for directors and aligns interests via ownership accumulation .
    • Director ownership guidelines ($350,000) promote longer-term alignment, with inclusion of RSUs toward the requirement .
  • Potential Risk/Conflict Indicators (no current red flags identified for Mr. Wolff):

    • Related-party transactions disclosed involve Indigo Partners arrangements and a Volaris codeshare; Mr. Wolff is not listed as a related party in these items; Audit Committee reviews related-party transactions under a formal policy .
    • Anti-hedging policy reduces misalignment risk from derivatives on company stock .

Overall, Mr. Wolff presents as an independent, governance-focused director with relevant external board experience, leading the Compensation Committee post-transition to a fully independent structure—supportive of investor confidence in pay oversight and board effectiveness .
