Cybersecurity Oversight
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | |||
|
The Security and Risk Committee’s responsibilities include monitoring Unisys’ enterprise risk profile and our ongoing potential exposure to risks of various types and reviewing crisis preparedness, incident response plans, summaries of any incidents or activities, reviewing reports or presentations from management or advisors, including third-party experts, regarding the management of enterprise risk programs, periodically meeting with the chief information security officer (“CISO”) and chief privacy officer (“CPO”) and periodically briefing the full Board on cybersecurity matters.
Additionally, the Audit and Finance Committee has general oversight over our cybersecurity as it relates to responsibility for our internal audit function, including cybersecurity practices, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and internal control over financing reporting. The Audit and Finance Committee, in conjunction with the Security and Risk Committee, also reviews our cybersecurity and other information technology controls and procedures no less than annually.
Management’s Disclosure Committee assists in fulfilling our obligations to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and coordinates and oversees the process of preparing our periodic securities filings with the SEC. Cybersecurity incidents, based on their severity, are escalated to the Disclosure Committee by our Security Incident Response Team. The Disclosure Committee is comprised of the CEO, chief operating officer (“COO”), chief financial officer (“CFO”), general counsel, chief compliance officer and chief accounting officer (“CAO”). The COO represents our business units, and the CISO reports to the COO. The Disclosure Committee meets on a quarterly basis and more often, if necessary, and invites subject matter experts to meetings, as appropriate. We have policies and procedures in place designed to provide appropriate information on any matters to our Disclosure Committee that should be considered in advance of applicable public filings, including cybersecurity matters, and to address the proper handling and escalation of information to management and the Board or a committee of the Board, including the Security and Risk Committee and the Audit and Finance Committee.
In addition to the oversight of the Board, members of our management, including our CISO, CPO and chief information officer, are responsible for assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks.

Pay Component
|
| |
What We Did
|
| | | | |
Why We Did It
|
|
|
Base Salary
|
| |
In 2024, Ms. Poggenpohl and Ms. Prohl received 5.4% and 4.3% increases, respectively, in base salary based on market considerations.
No other NEOs received base salary increases in 2024.
|
| |
![]() |
| |
The increases in Ms. Poggenpohl and Ms. Prohl’s base salaries are based on performance and market considerations.
|
|
|
Short-Term
Incentives (“STI”) |
| |
No NEOs received STI target percentage increases in 2024.
|
| | | | | | |
|
The STI mix of performance measures was split evenly, with 50% allocated to Revenue and 50% allocated to Non-GAAP Operating Profit.
The maximum payout design for all NEOs remains at 200% of each NEO’s annual target, based on the achievement of both individual and performance metrics.
|
| |
![]() |
| |
CEO target bonus reduction reflects continued commitment to Company financials and bottom-line performance.
|
| |||
|
In 2023, the CEO bonus was reduced from 140% to 120% of base salary. In 2024, the target bonus remained at 120%.
|
| | | | | | | |||
|
Long-Term
Incentives (“LTI”) |
| |
In 2024, we realigned the mix of performance measures between shares and cash for our LTI awards.
2024 LTI awards were based on time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based TSR RSUs, performance-based TSR Cash, and performance-based non-GAAP operating profit cash.
After conducting a comprehensive review of their market positioning, select NEOs received increased LTI award values in 2024.
|
| |
![]() |
| |
This change was intended to carefully manage share usage and to minimize dilution, while continuing to incentivize behavior that drives stock price appreciation and stockholder value.

Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
|
|
|
Alignment with Long-Term Stockholders’ Interests
|
| | Our NEOs’ interests are directly aligned with our stockholders’ interests through compensation programs that emphasize an appropriate balance of short- and long-term financial performance and deliver a meaningful percentage of compensation in the form of equity awards. Our LTI program further supports our continued focus on driving stockholder value creation. | | |
|
Competitiveness
|
| | Total compensation is competitive to attract qualified individuals, motivate performance and retain executives with the abilities and skills needed to foster long-term stockholder value creation. | | |
|
Motivating Achievement of Financial Goals and Strategic Objectives
|
| | A significant portion of overall compensation is dependent on the achievement of our short and long-term financial goals and strategic objectives to create value in the long term, which is a key pillar of our pay-for-performance philosophy. | | |
|
Rewarding Superior Performance
|
| | Performance that exceeds target is appropriately rewarded with above target payouts. This is balanced with downside risk of below-target payouts if we do not achieve our target financial goals and strategic objectives. | | |
|
Responding to Change
|
| | As our industry evolves and our opportunities for competitive business advantages change over time, we evolve to continue to create value. Our compensation programs are tailored to our strategic priorities (which may impact how we calibrate incentive plan payouts to various levels of performance), along with stockholder feedback and macroeconomic factors. | | |

Compensation and Human Resources Committee
|
| | | | |
| The CHRC is accountable for review and approval of overall compensation actions and strategic initiatives, along with oversight to broader human capital responsibilities. The Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The Committee is appointed by the Board to: | | | |||
|
(1)
oversee and recommend to the Board compensation changes for the CEO;
|
| | |||
|
(2)
oversee compensation of our Section 16 Officers (executive officers);
|
| | |||
|
(3)
oversee compensation-related policies and programs involving our executive officers and the level of benefits of officers and key employees;
|
| | |||
|
(4)
review and recommend to the Board compensation of the Company’s directors;
|
| | |||
|
(5)
review the senior executive succession plan and the senior executive leadership development process as presented by the CEO; and
|
| | |||
|
(6)
review our human capital and people strategy as presented by the CHRO.
|
| | |||
| The Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs and works very closely with its independent compensation consultant and the leadership team to examine the effectiveness of our executive compensation program throughout the year. Details of the Committee’s authority and responsibilities are specified in the committee’s charter, which may be accessed at our Investor Relations website: www.unisys.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/. | | | |||
| As part of the responsibilities described in its charter, the committee sets objective business performance targets and the amounts payable at different levels of performance under the EVC and LTI plans. Goal setting is part of the Company’s overall business planning process. As part of this process, a range of performance scenarios is developed. Goals are then set at the threshold, target and maximum performance levels — driven by the strategic and operational plans approved by the Board. The committee also considers the probability of achievement of different levels of performance when setting goals. | | |
|
Leadership
|
| |
|
| |
| The Committee receives reports and recommendations from management during the year on multiple compensation, human capital and performance-related topics. Throughout 2024, the committee solicited input from Mr. Altabef regarding the compensation and performance of executive officers. In addition, Mr. Altabef provided recommendations, based on our operating and strategic plans, to the Committee related to the performance measures used in the Company’s short- and long-term incentive plans, as well as the recommended threshold, target and maximum performance levels. | | |

Independent Compensation Consultant
|
| |
|
| |
| The Committee retains and regularly consults with an independent compensation consultant, Meridian. To ensure the Committee receives independent and unbiased advice and analysis, the consultant is prohibited from providing any services to Company leadership. Under its charter, the Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate outside compensation consultants, including the authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. The consultant maintains active engagement with the Committee chair and reports to the committee. The Committee annually reviews the independence of the consultant’s work under rules adopted by the SEC and NYSE and has found no conflicts. | | | |||
| In 2024, Meridian performed duties requested by the Committee, including: | | | |||
|
(1)
conducting a risk assessment
|
| | |||
|
(2)
providing recommendations on the composition of the peer group;
|
| | |||
|
(3)
analyzing executive and director compensation in comparison to market references;
|
| | |||
|
(4)
updating the Committee on executive compensation, regulatory, legislative, compliance and governance topics and trends;
|
| | |||
|
(5)
advising the committee on STI and LTI plan designs;
|
| | |||
|
(6)
reviewing disclosures related to executive and director compensation;
|
| | |||
|
(7)
providing data, analysis and advice for review of Mr. Altabef’s compensation and Mr. Thomson’s compensation in connection with his promotion to the CEO role, which were then recommended to and approved by the independent members of the Board;
|
| | |||
|
(8)
regularly attending meetings and joining from time to time in executive sessions with the Committee without the presence of management; and
|
| | |||
