Election of Directors
Kane has served since October 2019, meets all independence and attendance requirements, brings strong financial and audit expertise, and ALKT's 3-year TSR of +31.1% outperforms the disclosed peer group median by +91.1pp, well above the 65pp trigger threshold for strong-positive TSR companies — no TSR trigger fires.
Shootman is the CEO and an executive director; the TSR trigger does not fire given ALKT's +91.1pp outperformance versus the peer group median, and as CEO his relevant skills and experience are clearly demonstrated — no policy-based flags apply.
Smith has served since September 2011, meets independence and attendance requirements, has relevant venture and technology board experience, and the same peer-group TSR outperformance of +91.1pp means no TSR trigger fires despite his long tenure overseeing the full performance period.
All three Class II nominees pass the policy screens: ALKT's 3-year total shareholder return of +31.1% beats the disclosed compensation peer group median by +91.1 percentage points, far exceeding the 65pp threshold required to trigger a vote against directors for a company with strong-positive absolute returns. No attendance, overboarding, independence, or familial-relationship flags were identified for any nominee.
CEO
Alex Shootman
Total Comp
$7,492,018
Prior Support
89.0%%
CEO Alex Shootman received total compensation of approximately $7.5 million in 2025, a level consistent with benchmark expectations for a CEO at a $1.8 billion technology company. The pay program is well-structured: variable pay (annual cash bonus plus stock awards) constitutes approximately 93% of total compensation, far exceeding the 50-60% minimum required under policy, and the annual bonus was earned above target at 125.3% based on objective, pre-set revenue and Adjusted EBITDA goals that the company substantially achieved. The prior Say on Pay vote received 89% support, a strong shareholder endorsement, and the company's 3-year stock return of +31.1% outperforms the disclosed peer group — confirming that above-target incentive pay is aligned with shareholder experience.
Auditor
Ernst & Young LLP
Tenure
9 yrs
Audit Fees
$2,663,785
Non-Audit Fees
$657,200
Ernst & Young's non-audit fees in 2025 totaled $657,200 (comprising $150,000 in tax fees and $507,200 in other fees for capital market advisory services and a research tool), which equals approximately 24.7% of audit fees on its own but when combined represents total non-audit spend of $657,200 against audit fees of $2,663,785 — a ratio of roughly 24.7%, which is below 50%. However, re-examining: non-audit fees = Tax Fees ($150,000) + All Other Fees ($507,200) = $657,200; audit fees = $2,663,785; ratio = $657,200 / $2,663,785 = 24.7%. This is below the 50% threshold, so the non-audit ratio trigger does NOT fire. Auditor tenure is approximately 9 years (since 2017), well below the 25-year threshold. No material restatements are disclosed. EY is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a $1.8B market cap company. All policy screens pass — vote FOR.
The 2026 Alkami Technology annual meeting features three standard proposals: director elections, auditor ratification, and Say on Pay. All three receive FOR determinations — the director slate passes TSR and governance screens due to strong peer-relative outperformance, Ernst & Young's non-audit fee ratio is well within acceptable limits and tenure is only nine years, and the executive compensation program is heavily performance-linked with strong prior shareholder support.
