Proxy filing summary
23 Apr, 2026Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Shareholders are asked to vote on the election of eight director nominees at the 2026 Annual Meeting, with the Board recommending a vote "FOR" all nominees, including Susan Lee.
ISS recommended a vote against Susan Lee due to her attendance at less than 75% of Board and committee meetings in 2025.
The Board urges shareholders to support all nominees, emphasizing the circumstances behind Ms. Lee's absence and her overall engagement.
Board of directors and corporate governance
Susan Lee serves as Chair of the Compensation Committee and is a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Ms. Lee missed one Board and one committee meeting in July 2025 due to pre-approved overseas travel and telecommunications issues.

Executive compensation and say-on-pay
Ms. Lee brings significant experience in human resources and talent management to the Board, supporting executive compensation oversight.
