The definitive proxy statement outlines proposals for the upcoming annual meeting, with a key highlight being the significant disconnect between executive compensation and company performance. While the CEO's compensation actually paid increased by 2.10% and other named executive officers' average compensation rose by 12.95% in 2025, the company's net income plummeted by 61.07% in the same period. This disparity, following a substantial drop in 2025 net income reported in the recent 10-K, could lead to increased shareholder scrutiny during the advisory "say-on-pay" vote.
