Stockholders are also asked to approve an Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which would add 4,850,000 shares, bringing total shares available for awards to 10,561,827. The plan features minimum one‑year vesting (with limited exceptions), no repricing without stockholder approval, fixed director pay caps and post‑exercise holding periods for option and stock appreciation right exercises.
The proxy highlights a largely independent board with an independent chairman, fully independent key committees, regular executive sessions and annual strategic risk reviews, including cybersecurity oversight. Executive pay is heavily performance‑based, with most CEO and named executive officer compensation delivered through long‑term equity and at‑risk incentive programs.
Iridium Communications Inc. insider filing updates a major shareholder’s ownership disclosure. Baralonco Limited now reports beneficial ownership of 10,000,000 shares of Iridium common stock, representing approximately 9.53% of the company’s outstanding shares as of February 6, 2026.
