Director Elections
Election of Eight Directors
Lenehan has served since 2015 as CEO and director; FCPT's 3-year price return of +12.6% trails the peer group median by only 22.7 percentage points, well below the 35-point threshold required to trigger a vote against for a company with low-positive absolute returns, so the TSR test does not fire.
Hansen has served since 2015 as Board Chair; the peer-group TSR gap of -22.7 percentage points over three years does not meet the 35-point threshold needed to trigger a vote against, and he shows no overboarding, attendance, or independence concerns.
Friedland joined the Board in 2026 and is exempt from the TSR trigger under the 24-month new-director rule; he brings deep real estate finance and banking expertise from a long career at J.P. Morgan, making him well-qualified for his Investment Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee roles.
Jemley has served since 2017, chairs the Audit and Risk Committee, and qualifies as an audit committee financial expert with extensive CFO experience at major restaurant companies; the peer-group TSR gap does not trigger a vote against.
Jesuele joined in 2023 and is within 24 months of joining (just over three years), with meaningful real assets investment experience at J. Paul Getty Trust; the peer-group TSR gap of -22.7 points does not exceed the 35-point threshold, so the TSR test does not fire.
Ogilvie has served since 2015, is a qualified audit committee financial expert, and the peer-group 3-year TSR underperformance of 22.7 percentage points falls well short of the 35-point threshold required to trigger a vote against for a company with low-positive absolute returns.
Steele joined in 2020, is an audit committee financial expert with real estate and capital markets expertise, attended all board and committee meetings in 2025, and the peer-group TSR gap does not trigger a vote against.
Tennican joined in 2020, chairs the Investment Committee, and brings relevant real estate and institutional investor relations experience; the peer-group 3-year TSR gap of -22.7 percentage points does not meet the 35-point threshold needed to vote against.
All eight director nominees receive a FOR vote. FCPT's 3-year absolute stock return of +12.6% falls in the low-positive tier (0-20%), meaning the TSR underperformance threshold versus the disclosed compensation peer group is 35 percentage points. The actual gap is only -22.7 percentage points, so the TSR trigger does not fire for any director. Michael Friedland, who joined in 2026, is additionally exempt as a new director under the 24-month rule. No overboarding, attendance failures, independence problems, or familial relationship concerns were identified for any nominee. The board discloses a skills matrix, maintains all-independent committees, and has an independent chair separate from the CEO.
Say on Pay
✓ FORCEO
William H. Lenehan
Total Comp
$5,701,486
Prior Support
98.5%%
The CEO's total compensation of approximately $5.7 million is within a reasonable range for a CEO of a $2.8 billion market-cap equity REIT, and prior-year shareholder support was an exceptionally high 98.5%, indicating broad investor satisfaction with the pay program. The pay structure is well-designed: more than 50% of CEO compensation is variable and performance-based, including performance stock awards tied to relative total shareholder return versus net-lease REIT peers, absolute total shareholder return, and AFFO per-share growth over a three-year period — all meaningful, long-term metrics. The company also maintains a robust clawback policy, prohibits hedging and pledging, requires substantial stock ownership, and the 2023 performance stock awards vested at 0% due to below-threshold performance, demonstrating that the pay-for-performance structure actually works as intended.
Auditor Ratification
✓ FORAuditor
KPMG LLP
Tenure
11 yrs
Audit Fees
$972,623
Non-Audit Fees
$0
KPMG has served as FCPT's auditor since the company's spin-off in 2015, giving it approximately 11 years of tenure — well below the 25-year threshold that would trigger a concern. Non-audit fees were zero in 2025, so the non-audit fee ratio is 0%, far below the 50% threshold. KPMG is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a $2.8 billion market-cap company, and no material financial restatements were disclosed.
Overall Assessment
The 2026 FCPT annual meeting ballot contains three standard proposals: election of eight directors, ratification of KPMG as auditor, and an advisory say-on-pay vote. All three receive a FOR vote — the director TSR trigger does not fire given that the 3-year peer underperformance gap of 22.7 percentage points is well below the applicable 35-point threshold, KPMG's fees are 100% audit-related with no non-audit work, and the executive compensation program is well-structured with meaningful performance conditions and near-unanimous prior shareholder support.
