Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Share Repurchase Program: The Board authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $300 million of Class A common stock. This replaces the prior program, which had approximately $113.2 million remaining of its original $125 million authorization.
- Executive Compensation Amendments:
- CEO (Jason Wilk): Entered into an amendment regarding the treatment of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) upon termination outside a Change in Control (CIC) protection period. PSUs may accelerate based on actual performance or vest pro-rata depending on the timing of termination relative to the performance period. Upon a Change in Control, PSUs convert to RSUs based on target or actual performance, with full acceleration if terminated without Cause or for Good Reason during the CIC Protection Period.
- CFO/COO (Kyle Beilman): Entered into a similar amendment with specific updates: annual base salary increased to $475,000; target bonus set at 75% of base salary; and a target annual long-term incentive opportunity for 2026 of $4,000,000.
