MediaAlpha ( (MAX) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On March 16, 2026, MediaAlpha director Lara Sweet informed the company she would not stand for reelection at the 2026 annual meeting, ending her term on May 5, 2026, with the company stating her departure did not stem from any disagreement over operations, policies, or practices. The board’s nominating and governance committee has begun searching for a replacement, and audit committee member Kathy Vrabeck is expected to serve as interim audit committee chair.
On March 13, 2026, MediaAlpha’s compensation committee approved a revised 2026 long-term incentive structure for executive officers, shifting awards to 25% performance share units and 75% time-based restricted share units. The performance share units will be tied to Adjusted EBITDA goals for fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028, aligning executive pay more closely with multi-year profitability and potentially sharpening management’s focus on achieving defined financial targets.
