Material Changes
The Compensation Committee approved changes to the Long-Term Equity Incentive (LTI) compensation program effective March 1, 2022. Key changes include:
- Award Mix Adjustment: Named executive officers (excluding co-CEOs Ido and Roy Schoenberg) will receive 70% of their annual LTI award in Performance Stock Units (PSUs) and 30% in time-vesting Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
- Performance Criteria: PSUs vest based on the Company achieving specified market capitalization milestones over a rolling 30 trading-day period.
- Performance Period: The period runs from March 1, 2022, to February 28, 2025.
- Payout Range: PSUs can be earned between 0% and 300% of target levels.
- Grant Values: Aggregate PSU values granted on March 1, 2022, were $2,100,000 each for Phyllis Gotlib, Kurt Knight, and Robert Shepardson.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management commentary indicates the changes are intended to enhance the alignment of executive compensation with long-term shareholder value creation. The filing notes that unearned PSUs will be forfeited if market capitalization milestones are not met by the end of the performance period. Additionally, any unvested PSUs are immediately forfeited upon termination of employment for any reason.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific market capitalization thresholds required to trigger PSU vesting in the full PSU award agreement (to be filed in the Q1 2022 Form 10-Q).
- Confirm the timing of PSU grants for co-CEOs Ido and Roy Schoenberg, which are expected later in 2022.
- Review the Company's current market capitalization relative to the grant date baseline to assess the feasibility of the 0-300% payout range.
- Monitor future 10-Q filings for the detailed terms of the PSU award agreements referenced in this report.
