Latest 5Deere & Company Grants Long-Term Performance-Based Equity Awards to Senior Executives
On March 12, 2026, the Board of Directors of Deere & Company approved one-time grants of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) to named executive officers and other senior leadership. These awards are scheduled for issuance on or about March 19, 2026, under the John Deere 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan. The initiative is intended to align executive compensation with the company's long-term business objectives, specifically the Leap Ambitions, while ensuring retention through a multi-year vesting period. The PSUs are subject to a five-fiscal-year performance period spanning November 3, 2025, through October 27, 2030. Vesting is contingent upon the achievement of annual Shareholder Value Added (SVA) targets, which are adjusted based on the company's net sales relative to mid-cycle estimates to account for cyclical business fluctuations. Payouts are determined by an average performance percentage calculated over the five-year term, with potential payouts ranging from 0% to 175% of the target based on performance against SVA goals. No payout occurs if performance falls below 90% of the target. Termination provisions stipulate that all PSUs are forfeited if employment ends during the first three years of the performance period. Pro-rated vesting is permitted under specific conditions, such as death, disability, retirement, or qualifying termination after the completion of three full performance years. In the event of a change of control followed by a qualifying termination, grantees become fully service-vested. CEO John C. May received a target award value of $25 million, while Ryan D. Campbell and Deanna M. Kovar each received $5 million.

- ›Vesting tied to annual Shareholder Value Added targets adjusted for cyclical net sales.
