Director Compensation

Each nonemployee director received an annual retainer of $90,000 per year in 2024 as compensation for his or her services as a member of the Board. Up to 100% of such retainer may be paid in the form of restricted stock awards rather than cash. In addition, during 2024 the chairs of our board committees also received an additional cash retainer of $10,000 except the chair of the audit and risk committee received an additional cash retainer of $15,000. However, if a director serves as chair of more than one committee, the director will only receive the additional chair fee for one committee, whichever committee pays the highest fee. The additional fee for service as Board chair was $28,000 for 2024 (it is only paid if an independent director serves as the Board chair). We pay each director their applicable annual retainer in quarterly installments. Our directors also participate in our 2015 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. We do not pay our “inside” employee-director, Mr. de la Aguilera, any additional compensation for his service as a director and for service as the Board chairperson. For 2025, the annual cash retainer will increase to $110,000 but the committee chair fees will remain the same as were paid for 2024.
