CrowdStrike grants President Michael Sentonas performance stock unit award

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

On April 16, 2026, CrowdStrike's board approved a performance-based equity award to President Michael Sentonas with a target of 100,000 performance stock units (PSUs). The number of shares he can receive depends on the company's three-year total stockholder return relative to S&P 500 companies, ranging from zero to 200,000 shares, so the award's value to shareholders depends on future stock performance.

Key points

  • Target award is 100,000 PSUs, with payouts from 0% to 200% of target based on relative total stockholder return.
  • Performance period runs from December 22, 2025 to December 22, 2028; earned PSUs vest 25% each on March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20, 2029.
  • Payout is 50% of target at the 25th percentile and 200% at the 90th percentile or above; below the 25th percentile pays nothing.
  • The company cites fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.81 billion and ending ARR of $5.25 billion, and a long-term ambition of $20 billion in ending ARR.
