Director Elections
Election of Directors
No overboarding, full meeting attendance, strong relevant experience as former Postmaster General, and PSTL's 3-year TSR outperforms the peer median by +50.6pp which does not breach the 65pp threshold required to trigger a vote against under the strong-positive TSR policy band.
No overboarding, full meeting attendance, deep real estate finance and accounting expertise (former REIT CFO, CPA), and PSTL's 3-year TSR outperformance of +50.6pp versus peer median does not reach the 65pp trigger threshold.
No overboarding, full meeting attendance, relevant commercial real estate operating experience, and the company's 3-year TSR relative to peers does not trigger the underperformance threshold.
No overboarding, full meeting attendance, strong legal and real estate capital markets expertise, and PSTL's TSR outperformance versus peers is well below the 65pp trigger threshold.
As CEO and director, Spodek is subject to the same TSR trigger as other directors; PSTL's 3-year TSR of +60.9% (absolute) outperforms the peer median by +50.6pp, which does not breach the 65pp threshold under the strong-positive TSR policy band, so no TSR-based vote against applies.
All five directors receive a FOR vote. The full board is elected annually (no classified board), four of five directors are independent, all directors attended at least 75% of meetings in 2025, no overboarding concerns exist, and PSTL's 3-year price return of +60.9% outperforms both the peer group median (+10.3%) and the ^FNER — FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index (+9.8%) by wide margins, but neither gap reaches the 65pp trigger threshold applicable when absolute 3-year TSR exceeds +20%.
Say on Pay
✓ FORCEO
Andrew Spodek
Total Comp
$3,692,254
Prior Support
93%%
CEO Andrew Spodek received total compensation of $3,692,254 in 2025, which is within a reasonable range for a CEO at a specialty REIT with a market cap of approximately $655 million given the company's strong performance. The pay program is well-structured for alignment with shareholders: roughly 98% of Spodek's reported compensation is long-term equity (including performance-based stock awards tied to 3-year absolute and relative TSR hurdles), and he voluntarily takes 100% of both base salary and annual bonus in equity subject to an 8-year cliff vesting schedule, creating exceptional long-term alignment. The company's 2023 RSU awards vested at 123% of target reflecting genuine performance achievement, the prior Say-on-Pay vote received approximately 93% shareholder support, and PSTL's stock significantly outperformed both the peer group and the ^FNER — FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index over the relevant periods — confirming that above-benchmark incentive pay is consistent with strong shareholder outcomes.
Auditor Ratification
✓ FORAuditor
Deloitte & Touche LLP
Tenure
3 yrs
Audit Fees
$922,100
Non-Audit Fees
$0
Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as auditor since July 2023 (approximately 3 years), well below the 25-year tenure threshold; total fees for 2025 were $922,100 consisting entirely of audit fees with zero non-audit fees, so the non-audit fee ratio is 0% — far below the 50% threshold that would raise independence concerns; Deloitte is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a company of PSTL's size and complexity.
Overall Assessment
The 2026 PSTL annual meeting ballot contains four proposals: election of five directors, auditor ratification, a Say-on-Pay advisory vote, and an ESPP share increase. All three evaluated proposals (director elections, auditor ratification, and Say-on-Pay) receive FOR votes, supported by strong stock outperformance versus the ^FNER — FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index and peer group, a clean audit fee structure with zero non-audit fees, a new auditor relationship (3 years), and a compensation program with exceptional long-term equity alignment including performance-based equity awards tied to multi-year TSR goals.
