CPI Aerostructures shareholders approve long-term incentive plan and board elections

Shareholders of CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (NYSE:CVU) approved the company’s 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the annual meeting held Tuesday. The plan, previously authorized by the board on April 28, 2025, allows for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of common stock in the form of various equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance shares. With the company maintaining a healthy current ratio of 1.57 and generating $77.4 million in revenue, InvestingPro analysis suggests the company has strong liquidity to support its incentive programs.

Key features of the plan include a minimum one-year vesting period for most awards, a prohibition on repricing underwater stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval, a cap of 125,000 shares in equity awards per individual annually, and an annual compensation limit of $225,000 for non-employee directors, with a sub-limit of 50,000 shares for equity awards. The plan also subjects all awards to the company’s clawback policy and any additional requirements under SEC Rule 10D-1 or relevant stock exchange rules. No incentive stock options may be granted after March 26, 2035. The board retains the authority to amend or terminate the plan, subject to shareholder approval where required.

At the meeting, shareholders also voted to elect three Class III directors—Carey Bond, Michael Faber, and Dorith Hakim—to serve three-year terms. Voting results for the director nominees were as follows: Carey Bond received 5,980,976 votes for and 1,585,478 withheld; Michael Faber received 5,986,396 for and 1,580,058 withheld; Dorith Hakim received 7,462,351 for and 104,103 withheld. There were 3,066,131 broker non-votes for each nominee.

In addition, shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the company’s named executive officers, with 5,822,280 votes for, 1,713,833 against, and 30,341 abstentions. The adoption of the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan received 5,417,843 votes for, 2,143,803 against, and 4,808 abstentions.
