Cummins' fiscal 2026 pay is up from $27.7M. Almost all of it is stock, valued at grant:
1. $122.1M in PSUs
2. $45.4M in RSUs vesting through Jan 2031
3. $18.4M in management units tied to $CHRN shares, fully vested
The 4.5M PSUs pay out in thirds only if the 90-day average close reaches $50, $75 and $100 before January 2031. Under $50, all of it is forfeited. The grant was set on Jan 6 at a $30.26 close.
$APLD closed at $27.06 on Sept 24. Its best 90-day average since the grant is about $39.50, in July.
Last year's say-on-pay passed with 52.6%. The fiscal 2027 bonus now runs on a formula tied to adjusted cash EBITDA, and the CEO has to hold six times salary in stock. The CEO pay ratio is 828:1.
"Going forward, we aim to achieve $2 billion in annual Net Operating Income (NOI) within the coming years," Wes Cummins wrote in the stockholder letter.
The resale shares follow the June 26 upsize of the Series G commitment from $1.59B to $2B.
So far:
1. $1.165B raised
2. Up to $835M left
3. About 60.6M common shares issued from conversions, roughly $19.75 each on average (my math)
The 24.6M count assumes a $34 conversion floor. Daily VWAP has been under $34 since July 7, and the board can lower the floor at its discretion. At 95% of the Sept 24 close, $835M is about 32M shares, my estimate.
Shares outstanding went from 291.5M on July 28 to 302.3M on Sept 23.
Say-on-pay is back on the ballot at the Nov 4 virtual meeting.
