Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
As a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Re-Approval of the Regional Management Corp. 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan
We are proposing that our stockholders re-approve the Regional Management Corp. 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective as of May 14, 2026) (the “2024 Plan”) to, among other things, increase the number of shares of stock that may be issued under the 2024 Plan. We believe that our long-term incentive compensation program, currently implemented under the 2024 Plan, allows us to compete with comparable companies in our industry in order to attract and retain talented individuals who contribute to our long-term success. We also believe that the 2024 Plan effectively provides substantial incentive to achieve our business objectives and build stockholder value, thereby aligning the interests of plan participants with the interests of our stockholders. Approval of the amended and restated 2024 Plan should provide us with the continued flexibility needed to use equity compensation and other incentive awards to attract, retain, and motivate talented employees, directors, and consultants who are important to our long-term growth and success.
The following “best practices” are integrated into the 2024 Plan, as amended and restated:
| ✓ Limitation on Shares Issued | ✓ No “Evergreen” Provision or Liberal Share Recycling |
|---|---|
| ✓ No Discounted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) and Limit on Option and SAR Terms | ✓ No Stock Option or SAR Re-Pricings Without Stockholder Approval |
| ✓ Robust Minimum Vesting and Award Practices | ✓ Prudent Change of Control Provisions |
| ✓ No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Awards | ✓ Efficient Use of Equity |
| ✓ Reasonable Plan Duration | ✓ Administered by Independent Committee |
Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly known as a “say-on-pay vote”).
2025 Compensation-Related Highlights
✓
Continued alignment of executive pay with company performance:
o
2025 incentives were largely performance-contingent, with long-term incentive awards roughly one-half performance-contingent and short-term incentive awards entirely performance-contingent
o
Revised long-term incentive programfor performance-contingent awards as a result of stockholder feedback
o
Performance goals were rigorousand were based primarily on objective, quantitative criteria
✓
Maintained competitive compensation and incentive program target opportunities for our executives in order to continue to align their overall compensation with the market for executive talent
✓
Set our short-term incentive plan to provide upside opportunity if performance goals are exceeded, while paying low or no bonus amounts if goals are not achieved
✓
Granted long-term incentives, which include a significant portion that is contingent upon the achievement of rigorous and clearly-defined performance measures, to named executive officers and other key contributors, effectively aligning such individuals’ interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders
Compensation Program “Best Practices” Summary
| ✓Compensation program designed to closely align pay with performance✓Significant share ownership guidelines for executives(5x base salary for CEO, 2x for other executive officers)✓Significant share ownership guidelines for directors (5x annual cash retainer)✓Significant portion of compensation is variable and/or performance-based and subject to payment thresholds and maximums✓No excessive perquisites✓No excise tax gross-ups | ✓Formalized clawback policies✓Double-trigger change in control provisions ✓Prohibition against hedging and pledging✓No re-pricing of stock options or SARs without stockholder approval ✓Annual risk assessment of compensation policies to ensure programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company✓Independent Compensation Committee ✓Independent compensation consultant |
