Insights

Permanent CFO appointment with defined pay structure; governance continuity, standard incentives, limited near-term operational implications.

MillerKnoll appointed Kevin Veltman as permanent CFO on October 16, 2025, moving from interim status disclosed earlier. The filing specifies compensation terms: base salary of $520,000, fiscal 2026 AIP target at 75% of base, and LTI target at 185% of base effective next grant cycle. A one-time equity award of $500,000 is split evenly between PSUs and RSUs.

The package ties a significant portion of pay to variable and long-term equity components, aligning outcomes with performance and retention. Background details highlight his internal tenure and prior integration leadership, with no related-party ties disclosed.

Points to watch: timing and terms of the next LTI grant cycle when the 185% target becomes effective, PSU performance conditions when available, and the press release dated October 20, 2025 for any additional context. Fiscal 2026 will be the first full AIP period reflecting the 75% target.
