An update from Adobe ( (ADBE) ) is now available.

On January 26, 2026, Adobe’s board-level Executive Compensation Committee approved a 2026 Performance Share Program that ties executive equity awards to a three-year relative total shareholder return versus NASDAQ-100 peers and annual Net New Sales goals for fiscal years 2026–2028, with payouts ranging from 0% to 200% of target and all earned shares cliff-vesting in early 2029, subject to continued service and clawback provisions. On the same date, the committee set a 2026 Executive Annual Incentive Plan that conditions cash bonuses for top executives on achieving at least 95% of revenue and EPS targets, with potential payouts up to 155% of target, and adopted an Executive Officer Cash Severance Policy that caps new cash severance arrangements at 2.99 times salary plus target bonus without shareholder ratification, collectively reinforcing a pay-for-performance framework, long-term retention and governance discipline on executive severance costs.
