Sonic Automotive Sets 2026 Bonus Criteria for Top Executives

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 shareholder Written later

Sonic Automotive's Compensation Committee set 2026 performance criteria for cash bonuses for Chairman and CEO David Bruton Smith, President Jeff Dyke, and CFO Heath R. Byrd. Bonus amounts will be determined after the performance period ends and paid by March 15, 2027, so the filing does not show a financial result or a payout amount.

Key points

  • Bonus parameters were set February 11, 2026 for the January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 performance period.
  • Bonuses are tied to adjusted earnings per share goals and customer satisfaction goals based on the share of dealerships meeting manufacturer objectives.
  • Actual bonus amounts will be determined by the Compensation Committee and paid no later than March 15, 2027.
