The Compensation Committee of the company’s Board of Directors approved the 2025 base salaries and target incentive percentages for its executive officers on Monday, as detailed in the company’s latest 8-K report.

The report, filed on March 7, 2025, outlines the compensation structure under the Section 16 Officer/ALT Member Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).

Additionally, Leon Trefler, Chief of Clients and Markets, and John Higgins, Chief of Client & Partner Success, have the potential to earn sales commissions of $450,000 and £225,000, respectively.

The incentive plan is designed to align the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders and to incentivize performance that contributes to the company’s success. According to InvestingPro analysis, PEGA has demonstrated solid financial health with a return on equity of 21% and maintains a moderate debt level, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.94. The specifics of the 2025 base salaries, target incentive plan, and other bonus payments for the executive officers are included in Exhibit 99.1 of the 8-K report.
