Objectives of the Compensation Program
The primary objective of the Company's compensation program is to attract and retain highly qualified executives by providing competitive Base Salaries and meaningful Cash Bonus (as defined below) and Equity Compensation (as defined below). In addition, the compensation program is structured to hold the NEOs accountable for the performance of the Company by tying the substantial majority of their annual Cash Bonus and a substantial portion of their Equity Compensation to performance targets. The compensation program is also designed to promote an ownership mentality among the NEOs. The Compensation Committee recognizes that the interests of stockholders are best served by giving our NEOs the opportunity to participate in the appreciation of the Company's Common Stock. The Board has established stock ownership guidelines for each of the NEO positions and Directors. Under these guidelines, all of the NEOs and Directors are required to own a minimum amount of the Company’s Common Stock within four years from their first appointment as an NEO or Director, valued at the time of purchase, and to maintain this minimum amount throughout their tenure as an NEO or Director. Such ownership guidelines are as follows: five times the Base Salary for the CEO; three times the Base Salary for each of the other NEOs; and three times the annual retainer for each Director. Hedges and pledges of Common Stock by Directors and NEOs are prohibited by our Policy on Securities Trading. Each of the Directors and NEOs as of December 31, 2025 currently own shares of Common Stock that exceed the minimum established guidelines.
The following table shows the value of shares of Common Stock of the Company as of December 31, 2025 beneficially owned as of the Record Date by each of the NEOs, as a multiple of their 2025 Base Salaries. These individuals have not been awarded stock options.
