Stewart extends CEO Fred Eppinger's employment agreement through December 31, 2028
Stewart Information Services amended and restated the employment agreement of CEO Frederick H. Eppinger, extending its term to December 31, 2028, from the December 31, 2025 expiration. The filing sets his initial annual base salary at $1,100,000 and describes retirement benefits that apply from January 1, 2026, so shareholders get a longer commitment from the current CEO and a defined compensation framework, while the filing reports no financial results.
Key points
- Employment term extended to December 31, 2028; prior agreement was set to expire December 31, 2025.
- Initial annual base salary set at $1,100,000.
- Benefits on voluntary retirement under the Executive Voluntary Retirement Plan apply to periods from January 1, 2026.
- Other compensation is materially consistent with the terms in the March 26, 2024 proxy statement.

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on December 03, 2024.
