Jacobs, C. Taylor Pickett, Stephen D. Plavin, Burke W. Whitman) to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting. |
| #2 | Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Year Ending Filed by the board · Board recommends For Ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. Detail ›The proposal asks shareholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of EY as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. Management is seeking shareholder approval as a matter of good corporate governance, even though the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the auditor. The proxy explains EY’s long tenure since 1992, the Audit Committee’s process, fees paid, and its conclusion that EY’s services were compatible with maintaining independence. The Board and Audit Committee recommend a vote FOR, citing EY’s professional qualifications, industry experience, and institutional knowledge. A failure to ratify would prompt the Audit Committee to reconsider its selection. The proposal is routine and non-controversial, focusing on auditor oversight, independence, and continuity. |
| #3 | Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation (Say-on-Pay Filed by the board · Board recommends For Non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the company’s named executive officers as described in the proxy statement (say-on-pay). Detail ›This management-sponsored advisory proposal asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation of the company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy. Management seeks annual ratification to demonstrate alignment with shareholders and to validate its pay-for-performance design: a mix of short-term cash incentives tied to FAD per share, tenant quality and leverage and longer-term equity awards tied to absolute and relative TSR. The Board recommends a vote FOR, citing high prior-year shareholder support (95.9% in 2025) and asserting that the program attracts and retains talent while aligning pay with long-term stockholder value. As an advisory vote, the outcome isn’t binding, but the Compensation Committee will consider results when setting future pay. The proposal raises governance considerations about executive pay, but in this filing management frames the program as rigorous and aligned with shareholder interests. |

About the risk forecast
The risk forecast scores each director on the company’s slate against Boardroom Alpha’s YoY Director-Vote Forecast model — three XGBoost classifiers that estimate the probability the director’s vote support falls below 70%, 80%, and 90% at the upcoming annual meeting, augmented by a five-rule governance escalation layer (overboarding, audit-committee composition, prior dissent, and others).
Bands map to those probability thresholds:
- Crisis — high probability of vote support below 70%. Rare.
- Material — high probability of below 80%. The primary screening threshold.
- Elevated — significant elevated risk of dissent.
- Watch — even a mild withhold is detectable. Informational.
- Healthy — no signal of meaningful dissent.
Prior is the director’s most-recent vote-support percentage at this same board. Direction compares the forecast to that prior vote: ↑ expected better means more support than last year; ↓ expected worse means less.
Forecast applies only to non-contested annual proxies (DEF 14A). Contested situations are tracked separately on the contested-proxy pipeline. The model is retrained nightly; bands shown reflect the most recent run.
