LM, since you are deeply offended, I would recommend that you vote NO to send a message to the committee setting the compensation.
Vote 4 is to see how often to do vote 3, which to me should always be annually, but shareholders can vote.
PROPOSAL 3
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) included a provision that requires public companies to hold an advisory stockholder vote to approve or disapprove the compensation of their named executive officers. The Dodd-Frank Act also included a provision providing stockholders of a public company the opportunity to vote, on an advisory basis, on how frequently they would like the company to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of executive officers. At the 2013 annual meeting, our stockholders approved the Board’s recommendation that an advisory vote on executive compensation be conducted annually. Accordingly, we are conducting an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our executive officers again this year.
A detailed description of the compensation paid to executive officers is included in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation” in accordance with the SEC’s rules.
Our philosophy is that executive compensation should align with stockholders’ interests, without encouraging excessive and unnecessary risk. During fiscal year 2019, the main components of executive compensation, as shown in the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement, included (i) base salary, (ii) bonus based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each executive officer’s performance in achieving corporate and individual goals, and (iii) employee stock options. This vote is intended to consider the overall compensation of executive officers and the policies and practices described in this proxy statement.
This vote is advisory and therefore not binding on us, the Compensation Committee, or the Board. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of stockholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.
