The company disclosed Mr. Campbell's pay package: an annual base salary of $620,000 (pro-rated from the effective date); a 2025 target annual bonus opportunity equal to 100% of his pro-rated base salary; a 2026 long-term incentive target equal to 300% of his adjusted annual base salary; and a one-time equity top-off award with a grant date value of approximately $750,000 to be granted on October 1, 2025 (25% restricted stock units and 75% performance stock units under the company plan).

Positive

• Experienced internal appointment: Michael P. Campbell has served at Assurant since 2006 and held multiple senior roles, supporting continuity.
• Performance-linked pay mix: the disclosed package includes PSUs and a 300% long-term incentive target, emphasizing pay-for-performance alignment.

Negative

• Incremental compensation and potential dilution: the one-time $750,000 equity top-off and ongoing LTIP grant could modestly increase equity-based dilution and compensation expense.
• Limited PSU detail provided: the filing does not specify performance metrics or vesting conditions for the performance stock units, limiting assessment of incentive rigor.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Internal promotion supports continuity; compensation disclosure is routine but worth monitoring for governance and succession implications.

The appointment of Michael P. Campbell to COO is an internal promotion from long-tenured leadership roles, which typically signals operational continuity rather than strategic change. The firm provided full compensation terms, increasing transparency for shareholders. The disclosed mix—base salary, annual bonus target, long-term incentive target and a one-time equity top-off—aligns executive pay with multi-year performance, though the filing does not discuss any clawback, holding period or specific performance metrics for the PSUs beyond plan terms. Overall, this is a governance-appropriate disclosure of a senior management change with limited immediate material impact on corporate strategy.

Compensation Specialist

TL;DR: Pay package blends cash and performance equity; a 300% LTIP target and 75% PSU in the top-off emphasize pay-for-performance.

The package sets a $620,000 base salary and a 100% target annual bonus (pro-rated for 2025), which are conventional cash elements. The 300% long-term incentive target for 2026 and the one-time $750,000 equity top-off (25% RSUs, 75% PSUs) skew compensation toward equity and performance outcomes, increasing alignment with shareholder value creation if PSUs vest on performance. The filing is explicit about amounts and timing but does not specify PSU performance hurdles or potential dilution impact, which are relevant to assess full shareholder cost and incentive quality.
