Corporate Governance

Change Type	Description	Effective Date	Impact Assessment
Board Classification	Board is divided into three classes until the annual shareowner meeting in 2028. Directors elected to succeed those whose terms expire will be elected for a term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting. Beginning at the 2028 annual meeting, all directors will stand for election each year for annual terms.	Until 2028 annual meeting	Could discourage third parties from initiating proxy contests or tender offers by requiring at least two elections to gain control.
Director Removal Standard	Prior to the 2028 annual meeting, directors may be removed only for cause by an affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of outstanding capital stock. At or following the 2028 annual meeting, directors may be removed with or without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of outstanding capital stock.	Until 2028 annual meeting (66 2/3% for cause); At or following 2028 annual meeting (majority with/without cause)	Enhances board stability and discourages attempts to remove incumbent directors before 2028.
Board Size Determination	Until the 2028 annual meeting, the number of directors may be determined only by a majority vote of the then authorized number of directors. At or following the 2028 annual meeting, it can also be determined by an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of outstanding capital stock.	Until 2028 annual meeting (majority of authorized directors); At or following 2028 annual meeting (also by majority of voting power)	Limits shareholder influence on board size until 2028.
Filling Board Vacancies	Newly created directorships and vacancies are filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office.	Ongoing	Allows the existing board to maintain control over its composition, potentially discouraging external influence.
Shareowner Action by Written Consent	Expressly excludes the right of shareowners to act by written consent; action must take place at an annual or special meeting.	Ongoing	Prevents shareholders from taking action without a formal meeting, potentially slowing down activist efforts.
Calling Special Shareowner Meetings	Prior to the 2028 annual meeting, only the Chief Executive Officer or a majority of the Board can call a special meeting. From and including the 2028 annual meeting, the Secretary may call a special meeting upon written request of holders owning not less than 15% of outstanding common stock.	Until 2028 annual meeting (CEO/Board majority); From 2028 annual meeting (15% shareholder request)	Restricts shareholder ability to call special meetings until 2028, limiting their power to address urgent matters.
Advance Notification for Shareowner Nominations/Proposals	Establishes advance notice procedures (90-120 days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting) for shareowner proposals and director nominations.	Ongoing	May preclude contests for director elections or consideration of proposals if procedures are not followed, discouraging third-party proxy solicitations.
Cumulative Voting	Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting, as permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.	Ongoing	Limits minority shareholders' ability to elect directors.
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation	Until the 2028 annual meeting, certain provisions (Board classification, size, election, removal, special meetings, By-Laws amendment, and amendment of these provisions) require an affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of outstanding capital stock. Otherwise, prescribed by DGCL.	Until 2028 annual meeting (66 2/3% for certain provisions)	Makes it more difficult to amend key governance provisions before 2028.
Amendment of By-Laws	Can be amended by the Board or by a majority vote of outstanding capital stock. However, until the 2028 annual meeting, certain provisions (special meetings, Board size, removal, vacancies, and amendment of these provisions) require an affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of outstanding capital stock.	Until 2028 annual meeting (66 2/3% for certain provisions)	Makes it more difficult to amend certain By-Laws before 2028.
Authorized and Unissued Shares	Authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. Unissued shares are available for future issuance without stockholder approval (except as required by regulations/Delaware law).	Ongoing	Could make it more difficult to obtain control of the Company and allows the Board to issue preferred stock with rights superior to common stock, potentially diluting common shareholders.
Delaware Takeover Statute (Section 203 DGCL)	Subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits business combinations with interested shareowners (acquiring >15% voting stock without prior Board approval) for three years.	Ongoing	Discourages hostile takeovers.
Limitation on Liability & Indemnification	Certificate of Incorporation limits or eliminates personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duties and requires indemnification and advance of reasonable expenses.	Ongoing	May discourage lawsuits against directors/officers and reduce derivative litigation, potentially shifting costs to the company/shareholders.
Exclusive Forum Provisions	By-Laws designate Delaware state or federal courts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions (derivative, fiduciary duty, DGCL, internal affairs doctrine claims) and federal district courts for Securities Act claims.	Ongoing	May limit shareowners' ability to choose a favorable judicial forum for disputes, potentially discouraging lawsuits.

Recommendation

hold

The company is in a transitional phase post-spin-off, which has led to significantly increased costs and a sharp decline in net income and EPS for 2025. While the underlying business segments show some organic growth and strong market positions, and the company is investing heavily in future capacity and innovation, the financial impact of the separation and new debt structure is substantial. The announced dividend is a positive, but its sustainability is subject to future performance and debt covenants. Given the current financial headwinds and the inherent risks of a newly independent company, a "Hold" recommendation is appropriate. Investors should monitor the company's ability to manage increased costs, improve profitability, and successfully execute its growth strategies in the coming periods before considering a stronger position. The long-term potential is there, but the short-term financial performance is a concern.
