The Board also approved amendments to the company’s Code of Conduct to clarify confidential information obligations and to confirm that directors, officers and employees must comply with the Employee Handbook.

Key Details

• Frank D’Orazio, Chief Executive Officer: STI target increased from 100% → 150% of base salary.
• LTI target increased from 100% → 200% of base salary.
• Changes approved March 2, 2026; Form 8‑K filed March 6, 2026.
• Code of Conduct amended to enhance confidential‑information provisions and require compliance with the Employee Handbook; the amended Code is filed as Exhibit 14.1 and posted on the company website.

Why It Matters
For investors, the actions are governance and compensation decisions that may affect executive incentives and alignment with company performance. Larger STI and LTI targets increase potential CEO pay tied to short‑ and long‑term performance metrics, which could influence future compensation expense and management focus. The Code update strengthens internal compliance standards around confidential information and clarifies expected employee and director behavior, which is relevant to corporate governance and risk management.
