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.

$APLD's Polaris Forge 1 in Ellendale, North Dakota won Project of the Year, small population category, from the Mid-America Economic Development Council.
"Applied Digital's investment represents a turning point for our community, bringing new energy, new jobs and new opportunities," said Ellendale Mayor Don Flaherty.
The campus has 175 MW live after the first 75 MW phase of Building 2 came online June 30. All 400 MW is leased to $CRWV on roughly 15-year terms, about $11B of contracted revenue, and the site is engineered to scale to 1 GW over time.
