Deluxe Corp director Telisa L. Yancy received common stock as compensation rather than cash director fees. The Form 4 shows this as an “other” transaction tied to the company’s Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferral Plan, not as an open-market buy or sale.
After this compensation-related stock issuance, Yancy directly owns 44,984 shares of Deluxe Corp common stock. This reflects routine equity-based board compensation designed to align director interests with shareholders, rather than a discretionary trading decision in the open market.
Brown Angela L reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.
Deluxe Corp director Angela L. Brown received a grant of 1,036 shares of common stock in the form of restricted stock units valued at $26.56 per share. These units vest in four equal annual installments, contingent on continued employment, and bring her direct holdings to 13,505 shares.
Deluxe Corp director Hugh S. Cummins III reported an equity compensation grant rather than a market trade. He acquired 1,036 restricted stock units tied to common stock at a reference price of $26.56 per unit, in lieu of cash director fees under the company’s Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferral Plan. These units will convert into shares of common stock on future deferred dates he has specified, and this filing shows 1,036 shares held directly after the award.
Deluxe Corporation is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on April 23, 2026 on four items: electing nine directors, an advisory say-on-pay vote, approval of an amendment to the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, and ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor.
In 2025, Deluxe reported revenue of $2.133 billion, net income of $82.2 million, adjusted EBITDA of $431.5 million with a 20.2% margin, and adjusted EPS of $3.61. Payments and Data businesses grew 10% and now represent 47% of revenue, partially offsetting expected declines in Print.
The board highlights strong governance: eight of nine nominees are independent, there is an independent chair, annual director elections, stock ownership guidelines, no poison pill, and ESG and cybersecurity oversight. Current chair Cheryl Mayberry McKissack will retire, and Paul R. Garcia is expected to become independent board chair after the meeting.
Executive pay is heavily performance-based, with over 70% of compensation at risk and split between cash incentives tied to revenue, EBITDA, EPS, and strategic goals, and long-term RSUs and PSUs tied to multi‑year revenue and free cash flow with a relative TSR modifier.
Deluxe Corporation reported a Board change, noting that director Cheryl E. Mayberry McKissack has informed the Board that she will not stand for re-election at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This affects the Board’s future composition but does not change current operations.
