COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Components of Annual Executive Compensation
Base Salary
The purpose of the base salary is to provide a fixed amount of non-variable cash compensation that is generally competitive with market practices to attract and retain an effective management team. Consistent with our pay-for-performance objective, the base salary for each of our NEOs is designed to account for only a portion of their overall total target compensation. We believe the NEO base salaries are appropriate when compared to market benchmarks and based on the Executive Officers’ roles, responsibilities, experience, and contributions to the Company. For fiscal years 2023 and 2024, the Board approved the following base salaries for each of our NEOs:
| Name | 2023 Annual Base Salary | 2024 Annual Base Salary | Percentage Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bill Boor, CEO | $950,000 | $950,000 | 0% |
| Allison Aden, CFO | $450,000 | $550,000 | 22% |
| Brian Cira, President (Mfg.) | $250,000 | $250,000 | 0% |
| Matt Niño, President (Ret.) | $200,000 | $200,000 | 0% |
| Steve Like, President (Ins.) | $200,000 | $250,000 | 25% |
| Mickey Dragash, Former GC | $325,000 | $325,000 | 0% |
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The second component of our annual executive compensation is our short-term incentive program ("STIP"). The STIP consists of an annual cash incentive bonus based upon both (1) Company performance, and (2) individual objective-based performance. In addition, Messrs. Cira and Nino both receive a third part of STIP based on the profits of the business operations each oversees. Mr. Boor's STIP payout is predicated solely on Company performance. The following table summarizes the component and total STIP payouts made to our NEOs for FY2024. Mr. Dragash is not included in the following STIP tables and discussion because he was not serving as an Executive Officer at the end of FY2024 (see "Summary Compensation Table" below for details on FY2024 compensation paid to Mr. Dragash):
| Name | Company Performance Component | Individual Objective Component | Business Profit Component | Total STIP Payout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bill Boor, CEO | $753,730 | — | — | $753,730 |
| Allison Aden, CFO | $297,525 | $100,000 | — | $397,525 |
| Brian Cira, President (Mfg.) | $33,058 | $40,000 | $748,893 | $821,951 |
| Matt Niño, President (Ret.) | $33,058 | $50,000 | $963,660 | $1,046,718 |
| Steve Like, President (Ins.) | $156,117 | $100,000 | — | $256,117 |
- Company Performance: For FY2024, the threshold, target, and maximum Company performance STIP payouts are expressed below as a percentage of each NEO's base salary:
| Name | Threshold(x of Target) | Target | Maximum(x of Target) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bill Boor, CEO | 0.5x | 120% | 2x |
| Allison Aden, CFO | 0.5x | 82% | 2x |
| Brian Cira, President (Mfg.) | 0.5x | 20% | 1.5x |
| Matt Niño, President (Ret.) | 0.5x | 25% | 1.5x |
| Steve Like, President (Ins.) | 0.75x | 80% | 1.5x |
In May 2023, the Board approved two metrics to measure FY2024 Company performance and align our NEO's incentives with our stockholders' interests.
Factory-Built Housing Profits. 90% of the Company performance payout is based on FY2024 adjusted factory-built housing segment pre-tax profit, where target was based on the budgeted pre-tax profit, with threshold attainment being at 70% of the forecast and stretch attainment being 130% of the forecast; and

Executive Compensation
Financial Services Profits. 10% of the Company performance payout is based on FY2024 adjusted financial services segment pre-tax profit, where target was based on the forecasted pre-tax profit, with threshold attainment being at 70% of the forecast and stretch attainment being 130% of the forecast.
A graphical depiction of the FY2024 Company performance targets and actual results are set forth below:
| 90% of factory-built housing – Earnings driven corporate STIP | 10% of financial services – Earnings driven corporate STIP |
|---|
Given these results, in May 2024, the Board approved FY2024 Company performance STIP payouts to Mr. Boor, Ms. Aden, and Messrs. Cira, Niño, and Like of $753,730, $297,525, $33,058, $33,058, and $156,117, respectively. These payments are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table.
In addition to the Company performance-based STIP payouts described above, Mr. Cira and Mr. Niño are both eligible to receive a percentage of the pre-tax income of the manufacturing and retail operations each respectively oversees. In FY2024, Mr. Cira received 0.425% of pre-tax income for the manufacturing operations he oversees which came to $748,893. Mr. Niño received 4% of the pre-tax income for the retail operations he oversees which came to $963,660 for FY2024. These payments are also reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table.
- Individual Objective-Based Performance: The elements that comprise each individual’s performance objectives vary by position and are mutually agreed upon by each NEO and the CEO. These objectives primarily consist of measurable goals that have a meaningful impact upon our overall financial performance as well as each executive's professional development.
In May 2023, the Board set the following FY2024 individual performance STIP targets for our NEOs as a percentage of each NEO's base salary: For Ms. Aden, an award of 18% of her base salary; for Mr. Like, an award of 40% of his base salary; for Mr. Cira, an award of 20% of his base salary; and for Mr. Niño, an award of 25% of his base salary.
In May 2024, for the achievement of individual performance objectives in FY2024, the Board approved payments for this individual performance STIP component to Ms. Aden and Messrs. Cira, Niño, and Like in the amounts of $100,000, $40,000, $50,000, and $100,000, respectively.

Executive Compensation
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The third component of our annual executive compensation program is long-term incentive compensation. The Company’s FY2024 long-term incentive program ("LTIP") consisted of equity awards of (1) RSUs (time-based vesting) and (2) PRSUs (performance-based vesting).
In May and June 2023, the Board approved FY2024 LTIP awards of RSUs and PRSUs to the NEOs as set forth in the table below. All awards were made pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan. The total grant date value of these equity awards is disclosed below in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table.
| Name | FY2024 RSUs (#) | FY2024 PRSUs at target (#) |
|---|---|---|
| Bill Boor, CEO | 3,800 | 5,700 |
| Allison Aden, CFO | 1,536 | 2,034 |
| Brian Cira, President (Mfg.) | 475 | 712 |
| Matt Niño, President (Ret.) | 339 | 509 |
| Steve Like, President (Ins.) | 407 | 610 |
| Mick Dragash, Former GC (1) | 500 | 700 |
(1) The FY2024 RSU and PRSU awards to Mr. Dragash were subsequently prorated upon execution of his Release of Claims Agreement, dated March 5, 2024, as set forth below in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.
FY2024 RSUs: The RSUs awarded for FY2024 are subject to a time-based vesting schedule such that 33% of the shares vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, 33% on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 34% on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs make up 40% of the value of the FY2024 LTIP payout to our NEOs.
FY2024 PRSUs: PRSUs make up 60% of the value of the FY2024 LTIP payout to our NEOs. The metrics used for the design of the FY2024 PRSUs issued to our NEOs incentivize performance over a period of three years in two distinct areas: value creation and growth.
Value creation is measured by total shareholder return relative to our peer group.
Growth is measured by our volume improvement compared to the manufactured housing industry.
Each measure is weighted equally when determining overall performance for the period and is measured individually on threshold (50%), target (100%), and stretch (200%) levels. Shares under the FY2024 PRSU awards will be measured and issued in May 2026, at the end of the three year performance period from FY2024 through fiscal year 2026.
Earnout of Fiscal Year 2022 PRSU Awards at Conclusion of Performance Period
In FY2024, our NEOs also received the earnout of PRSU awards they had received on May 24, 2021 (the "FY2022 PRSUs") for the performance during fiscal years 2022 to 2024 (the "Performance Period"). The grant date value of these FY2022 PRSUs was part of the LTIP compensation paid to our NEOs for fiscal year 2022 ("FY2022") and disclosed in the CD&A section of our proxy filed with the SEC on June 21, 2022. In May 2024, the Board approved the payout of the FY2022 PRSUs. The performance measures for these FY2022 PRSUs included volume improvement, operational improvement, and value creation measured individually on threshold (50%), target (100%), and stretch (200%) levels. The performance results of these measures are set forth in the table below:
| Measure | Weight | Threshold50% | Target100% | Stretch200% | Resultsto Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volume Improvement | 33% | 0% | 5% | 10% | 23.4% |
| Operational Improvement | 33% | 2% | 5% | 8% | 3.1% |
| Value Creation | 34% | 20% | 50% | 80% | 49.0% |
Volume Improvement: Volume improvement, or market share, was determined by reference to the percentage difference between: (i) the total number of Company units shipped during fiscal year 2021 ("FY2021") divided by the number of HUD Code Home shipments during the same period and (ii) the total number of Company units shipped during FY2024 divided by the number of HUD Code Home shipments during the same period.
Operational Improvement: Operational improvement is measured by the improvement in the number of floors produced per employee equivalent. Floors per employee was determined by dividing: (i) the total number of floors produced per employee equivalent during FY2024 by (ii) the total number of floors produced per employee equivalent during FY2021.
32 2024 Proxy Statement
Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee, at its discretion, may include or exclude certain plant operations from the Performance Period calculation.
Value Creation: Measured by Relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”) relative to our peer group and was determined with respect to the Company and the rTSR comparator companies by dividing: (a) the sum of (i) the difference between the applicable beginning stock price and the applicable ending stock price plus (ii) all dividends and other distributions on the respective shares with an ex-dividend date that falls during the Performance Period, by (b) the applicable beginning stock price. To determine the Company’s applicable percentile ranking, the Company and each rTSR comparator corporation are arranged by their respective total shareholder returns (highest to lowest).
Based on the metrics above for the FY2022 PRSUs, the number of PRSUs issued to each NEO in May 2024 and the percentage of target this payout represented are set forth in the following table:
| NEO | FY2022 PRSUTarget Payout (# shares) | FY2022 PRSUActual Payout(# shares) | FY2022 PRSUActualPercentage of Target(%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bill Boor, CEO | 4,500 | 5,506 | 122% |
| Allison Aden, CFO | 920 | 971 | 106% |
| Brian Cira, President (Mfg.) | 400 | 421 | 105% |
| Matt Niño, President (Ret.) | 250 | 263 | 105% |
| Steve Like, President (Ins.) | 300 | 316 | 105% |
| Mickey Dragash, Former GC | 600 | 571 | 95% |
Perquisites and Other Compensation
Cavco does not offer significant perquisites to its NEOs. The NEOs may participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan and other health and welfare programs that are available to all other full-time employees. Amounts paid to our NEOs under the Cavco's 401(k) plan are reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table below.
