Material Changes
The Compensation & Talent Committee of the Board of Directors approved amendments to the terms of outstanding Performance Stock Units (PSUs). Previously, PSUs granted in 2024 contained single-trigger vesting provisions upon a change in control, while those granted in 2025 and 2026 contained double-trigger provisions. To ensure consistency, all outstanding PSU awards held by executive officers (including retired officers) were amended effective April 10, 2026, to align with a revised PSU Agreement.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Compensation Structure Change: The revised PSU Agreement establishes double-trigger accelerated vesting for all PSUs. Accelerated vesting and payout will occur only if the recipient's employment is terminated without cause or they resign for good reason within one year after a change in control, or if the surviving entity does not continue, assume, or replace the awards.
- Vesting Calculation: In the event of a qualifying termination, the number of PSUs that vest will equal the greater of the target number of PSUs or the number earned based on actual performance during the truncated performance period.
- Retired Officers: For retired award recipients holding outstanding PSUs, the agreement stipulates that upon a change in control, PSUs will vest in an amount equal to the greater of the target number or the performance-based earned amount.
- Future Grants: The revised PSU Agreement will serve as the standard form for all future PSU grants.
