PROXY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) has been made available on the Internet to the stockholders of Landstar System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Landstar”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday, May 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). The 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Report”) (which, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, does not form a part of the proxy solicitation material relating to this Proxy Statement), including the financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2024, has also been made available on the Internet. This Proxy Statement, the form of proxy, the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting and the 2024 Annual Report (collectively, the “proxy materials”) are being made available to the stockholders of the Company on or about April 4, 2025. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability. The mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 13410 Sutton Park Drive South, Jacksonville, Florida 32224. Please note that information contained or connected to any website referenced in this Proxy Statement is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement or any other report or document we file with the SEC, unless expressly so provided in this Proxy Statement.

RECORD DATE

The Board has fixed the close of business on March 21, 2025 as the record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record on that date will be entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting in person or by proxy.

PROXIES

Shares cannot be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting unless the owner thereof is present in person or by proxy. The proxies named on the proxy card were appointed by the Board to vote the shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), represented by the proxy card. If a stockholder does not return a signed proxy card with respect to any of his or her shares, such shares cannot be voted by proxy. Stockholders are urged to mark the boxes on the proxy card to show how his or her shares are to be voted. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies that are received in time for the 2025 Annual Meeting will be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof in accordance with any specification thereon, or if no specification is made, will be voted as follows: (i) “FOR” the election of the eight members of the Board nominated by the Board for re-election and named in this Proxy Statement; (ii) “FOR” the ratification of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company; and (iii) “FOR” the proposal regarding an advisory vote on executive compensation. Each of these proposals is more fully described in this Proxy Statement. The proxy card also confers discretionary authority on the proxies to vote on any other matter not presently known to management that may properly come before the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Any proxy delivered pursuant to this solicitation is revocable at the option of the person(s) executing the same (i) upon receipt by the Company before such proxy is voted of a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, (ii) by written notice of the revocation of such proxy to the Secretary of the Company received before such proxy is voted or (iii) by such person(s) voting in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

1

The Board has selected Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. as Inspector of Election (the “Inspector”) pursuant to Article I of the Company’s Bylaws, as amended and restated (the “Bylaws”). The Inspector shall ascertain the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, determine the number of shares represented at the 2025 Annual Meeting by proxy or in person and count all votes. Each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder and such votes may be cast either in person or by proxy.

PROXY SOLICITATION

The cost of the preparation of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. The Company has engaged Georgeson LLC as the proxy solicitor for the 2025 Annual Meeting for a fee of approximately $11,500 plus reasonable expenses. In addition to the use of the mails, certain directors, officers or employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone or personal contact. Upon request, the Company will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks and trustees, or their nominees, for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

A description of the procedures as to how stockholders may send communications to the Board or individual Board members is included on the Company’s website at https://investor.landstar.com/committee-details/shareholder-communications-board-directors.

VOTING SECURITIES

Shares of Common Stock are the only class of voting securities of the Company which are outstanding. On March 21, 2025, 34,946,479 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. At the 2025 Annual Meeting, each stockholder of record at the close of business on March 21, 2025 will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock owned by such stockholder on that date as to each matter properly presented to the 2025 Annual Meeting. The holders of a majority of the total number of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date shall constitute a quorum for purposes of the 2025 Annual Meeting (a “Quorum”).

PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

There are currently eight members of the Board, whose terms will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

The Board has nominated Dr. Homaira Akbari, Mr. David G. Bannister, Mr. James L. Liang, Mr. Frank A. Lonegro, Ms. Diana M. Murphy, Mr. Anthony J. Orlando, Mr. George P. Scanlon and Ms. Teresa L. White as Directors for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting. It is intended that the shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting for the election of nominees Dr. Akbari, Mr. Bannister, Mr. Liang, Mr. Lonegro, Ms. Murphy, Mr. Orlando, Mr. Scanlon and Ms. White as Directors, unless the proxy specifies otherwise. Dr. Akbari, Mr. Bannister, Mr. Liang, Mr. Lonegro, Ms. Murphy, Mr. Orlando, Mr. Scanlon and Ms. White would each be elected for a term to expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting, and each has indicated his or her willingness to serve as a member of the Board, if elected.

If, for any reason not presently known, Dr. Akbari, Mr. Bannister, Mr. Liang, Mr. Lonegro, Ms. Murphy, Mr. Orlando, Mr. Scanlon or Ms. White is not available for election at the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting, the shares represented by the form of proxy may be voted for the election of one or more substitute nominee(s) designated by the Board or a committee thereof, unless the proxy withholds authority to vote for such substitute nominee(s).

2

Assuming the presence of a Quorum, to be elected, a nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Common Stock with respect to that director’s election at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Abstentions from voting and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

INFORMATION REGARDING BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

The business of the Company is managed under the direction of the Board. The Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis four times a year to review significant developments affecting the Company and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings and acts by written consent when matters require Board action between scheduled meetings. In addition, the Independent Directors (as defined below) of the Board meet regularly in executive session without any other members of management or the Board present.

Attendance at Annual Meetings

Each member of the Board is required to attend all meetings (whether special or annual) of the stockholders of the Company. In the case where a Director is unable to attend a special or annual stockholders’ meeting, such absence shall be publicly disclosed in the subsequent Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and an explanation for such absence shall be provided to the Company’s Nominating and ESG Committee. Any consideration of additional Company action, as appropriate, with respect to such absence shall be solely within the discretion of the Nominating and ESG Committee of the Board. All current Board members attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2024 Annual Meeting”), which was held virtually.

Attendance at Board Meetings

During the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, the Board held nine meetings and did not act by written consent. During the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, each current Director who served on the Board in 2024 attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board and all committees of the Board on which such Director serves.

Independent Directors

Each of Homaira Akbari, David G. Bannister, James L. Liang, Diana M. Murphy, Anthony J. Orlando, George P. Scanlon and Teresa L. White is an “independent director,” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act and meets the requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of such NASDAQ rules and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act (such Directors are, collectively, the “Independent Directors”). The Independent Directors held six meetings during fiscal year 2024, in each case in executive session without any other members of management or the Board present.

Structure and Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and ESG Committee, a Safety and Risk Committee and a Strategic Planning Committee to devote attention to specific subjects. The functions of these committees and the number of meetings held during 2024 are described below. The Board does not currently have an Executive Committee. The Independent Directors have elected a non-executive Chairman, whose role is further described below. In addition, the Board has established a Disclosure Committee comprised of members of management, including one employee member of the Board, to establish and maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure accurate and timely disclosure in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, and a Risk Committee comprised of members of management, including one employee member of the Board, to identify, assess and manage the enterprise-wide significant risks and related policies and procedures of the Company.

Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and ESG Committee solely consist of the Independent Directors, with a different Independent Director serving as the Chairman for each such committee. In addition, Mr. Scanlon serves as the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee and Dr. Akbari

9

serves as the Chairman of the Safety and Risk Committee, each of which is comprised of all of the Directors on the Board. Historically, each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and ESG Committee has typically invited the Chief Executive Officer, the Director who does not serve on those committees, to attend all regular meetings of these three committees, excluding any meetings of the Compensation Committee to the extent pertaining to the executive compensation arrangements of the Chief Executive Officer.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The leadership structure of the Board consists of: (i) a non-executive Chairman; (ii) an Independent Director serving as Chairman of the Audit Committee; (iii) an Independent Director serving as Chairman of the Compensation Committee; (iv) an Independent Director serving as Chairman of the Nominating and ESG Committee; (v) an Independent Director serving as Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee; (vi) an Independent Director serving as Chairman of the Safety and Risk Committee; and (vii) an employee Director who also serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and ESG Committee consists solely of Independent Directors.

The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is responsible for leading the overall strategic direction of the enterprise; however, the Independent Directors, led by the non-executive Chairman of the Board, retain the decision making authority of the Board because the Independent Directors consist of a majority of the members of the Board. In addition, the Independent Directors constitute the sole members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and ESG Committee and a majority of members of the Strategic Planning Committee and the Safety and Risk Committee. The Board also believes that its leadership structure is supported by Independent Directors serving as the Chairman of each committee of the Board, as the Chairman of each committee of the Board has responsibility for setting the agenda for each meeting of that committee. Ms. Murphy, as non-executive Chairman, sets the agenda for the meetings of the Board and the meetings of the Independent Directors. Further, the Company’s internal audit function reports directly to the Audit Committee. Finally, there are no meetings of the Board or any committee of the Board at which each Independent Director is not an invited member, the Independent Directors meet regularly in executive session without any members of management present, including the Chief Executive Officer, and the Independent Directors have significant input regarding the Board’s agenda and information flow.

Non-Executive Chairman

On May 19, 2015, the Board elected Diana M. Murphy to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board for such term as the Board may determine. In appointing Ms. Murphy as the non-executive Chairman of the Board following the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting, the Board considered Ms. Murphy’s extensive experience with the Company having served on the Board since 1998, including her service as Lead Independent Director since 2012 and her service at various times as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (subsequently renamed the Nominating and ESG Committee), the Strategic Planning Committee and the Compensation Committee.

The duties and responsibilities of the non-executive Chairman include: (i) to preside as the chairman at all meetings of the Board; (ii) to preside as the chairman at all meetings of the Independent Directors; (iii) to serve as a liaison between the Independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer; (iv) to coordinate with the Chief Executive Officer to prepare meeting agendas and related materials for meetings of the Board; (v) to coordinate with the other Independent Directors of the Board to develop the agenda with respect to all meetings of the Independent Directors; (vi) to have the authority to call meetings of the Board and meetings of the Independent Directors; (vii) to approve the annual schedule of meetings of the Board; (viii) to ensure that the Board has adequate resources, including complete, timely information necessary to enable the members of the Board to perform their duties; and (ix) to communicate to management, as appropriate, the results of private discussions among the Independent Directors.

10

In addition to the aforementioned duties, the non-executive Chairman of the Board is also the Chairman of the Nominating and ESG Committee. In that capacity, Ms. Murphy leads the process by which potential new Independent Directors are identified and evaluated. The Board believes it is important to confer this responsibility on the non-executive Chairman in order to support a Board structure where the Independent Directors retain the decision making authority of the Board.

Separation of the Roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Ms. Murphy, the former Lead Independent Director of the Company, was appointed non-executive Chairman of the Board, effective May 19, 2015. Historically, the Company has experienced periods during which the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer have been combined and periods during which these roles have been separated. The Board believes that an analysis of whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separated is based on the facts and circumstances applicable at the time of the analysis and that it may not be appropriate under all circumstances to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Declassification of the Board

The stockholders of the Company voted at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting to approve amendments to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to, among other things, declassify the Board over a two-year period beginning at the 2023 Annual Meeting and provide for the annual election of all Directors beginning at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting. The terms of all Directors will expire annually as of the 2025 Annual Meeting, and each Director nominee at our 2025 Annual Meeting and each Annual Meeting of Stockholders thereafter will be elected for a one-year term expiring at the following year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Audit Committee

During the 2024 fiscal year, the Audit Committee held ten meetings and did not act by written consent.

11

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Homaira Akbari, David G. Bannister (Chairman), James L. Liang, Diana M. Murphy, Anthony J. Orlando, George P. Scanlon and Teresa L. White, each an Independent Director.

The Compensation Committee functions include: (i) reviewing and making determinations with respect to matters having to do with the compensation of Executive Officers and Directors of the Company and (ii) administering certain plans relating to the compensation of employees and Directors. During the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee held four meetings and did not act by written consent.

The Charter of the Compensation Committee was amended and restated by the Board at the January 23, 2024 Board meeting. The Charter of the Compensation Committee more fully describes the purposes, membership, duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee described herein. A copy of the Charter of the Compensation Committee is available on the Company’s website at https://investor.landstar.com/committee-details/charter-compensation-committee.

The Compensation Committee has full and complete discretion to establish the compensation payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the other Executive Officers and oversees the compensation payable to other employees of the Company. With regard to the Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee, following authorization by the Board, has delegated to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer authority with respect to management of annual salary decisions for employees making up to $200,000 in annual salary. In addition, the Compensation Committee has delegated to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer the authority with respect to the grant of restricted stock units and/or nonvested restricted stock up to an aggregate grant date fair value of $200,000 per employee (other than Executive Officers) with vesting over a period of no less than three years from the date of the grant following consultation with the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has otherwise not delegated to management any of its responsibilities with respect to the compensation of the Executive Officers of the Company, except with respect to the day-to-day operations of the Company’s compensation plans.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to hire and negotiate the terms of compensation for its advisors, including compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the Company’s compensation programs.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As noted above, the members of the Compensation Committee are Homaira Akbari, David G. Bannister, James L. Liang, Diana M. Murphy, Anthony J. Orlando, George P. Scanlon and Teresa L. White. All members of the Compensation Committee are Independent Directors, and no member is or has been an employee of the Company. During the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, no Executive Officer of the Company served as a member of the compensation committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on the Board or the Compensation Committee.

Nominating and ESG Committee

The members of the Nominating and ESG Committee are Homaira Akbari, David G. Bannister, James L. Liang, Diana M. Murphy (Chairman), Anthony J. Orlando, George P. Scanlon and Teresa L. White, each an Independent Director.

The functions of the Nominating and ESG Committee include to (i) review the composition of the Board and its committees to determine whether it may be appropriate to add or remove individuals or otherwise change the composition thereof; (ii) oversee the self-evaluation of the Board and the self-evaluation of each Board committee; (iii) review and evaluate current directors for re-nomination to the Board or reappointment to any

12

During the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, the Nominating and ESG Committee held two meetings and did not act by written consent.

The Charter of the Nominating and ESG Committee was amended and restated by the Board at the December 8, 2020 Board meeting. The Charter more fully describes the purposes, membership, duties and responsibilities of the Nominating and ESG Committee described herein. A copy of the Charter of the Nominating and ESG Committee is available on the Company’s website at https://investor.landstar.com/committee-details/nominating-and-corporate-governance-committee-charter.

The Nominating and ESG Committee oversees an annual self-evaluation conducted by the Board, which may involve the engagement of third-party advisors to facilitate such self-evaluation, in order to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. The Nominating and ESG Committee also oversees individual Director self-assessments and succession planning, which may also involve the engagement of third-party advisors. In 2024, the Nominating and ESG Committee retained Spencer Stuart to assist in these processes. The Nominating and ESG Committee considers the Board, committee and individual Director self-assessments for purposes of making recommendations to the Board as to the persons who should be nominated for election or re-election, as the case may be, at each upcoming annual meeting of stockholders.

The Nominating and ESG Committee considers candidates for the Board suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and stockholders. The Nominating and ESG Committee also has the authority to engage search firms to help conduct searches for new candidates for the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating and ESG Committee evaluates nominees for the Board based on whether or not the nominee is recommended by one of its members, another Board member, management or a stockholder. The Nominating and ESG Committee evaluates prospective nominees against a number of minimum standards and qualifications, including business experience and financial literacy. The Nominating and ESG Committee also considers such other factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of management Directors and Independent Directors, the need for Audit Committee or other relevant expertise, the evaluations of other prospective nominees and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to a broad spectrum of skills, experience, perspective and personal characteristics among members of the Board. The Nominating and ESG Committee then determines whether to interview the prospective nominees, and, if warranted, one or more of the members of the Nominating and ESG Committee, and others as appropriate, interview such prospective nominees whether in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and, if warranted, interview, the Nominating and ESG Committee makes a recommendation to the Board as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board. The Board then determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nominating and ESG Committee.

Stockholders who wish to submit names to the Nominating and ESG Committee for consideration for nomination to the Board should do so in writing addressed to the Nominating and ESG Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Landstar System, Inc., 13410 Sutton Park Drive South, Jacksonville, Florida 32224.

In addition, each Independent Director was also entitled to receive a grant of restricted shares of Common Stock under the 2022 Directors Stock Compensation Plan on the first business day immediately following the 2024 Annual Meeting equal to a number of restricted shares of Common Stock determined based on the quotient of $150,000 divided by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such grant, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is comprised of all of the Independent Directors. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and to issue a report thereon. The independent registered public accounting firm is also responsible for auditing the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring these processes. The Audit Committee is not, however, professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and does not provide any expert or other special assurance as to such financial statements concerning compliance with laws, regulations or generally accepted accounting principles or as to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on presentations and statements of fact made by management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm.

In connection with these responsibilities, as discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the Audit Committee held five meetings and five telephonic meetings during the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. These meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the Audit Committee, management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for these audits. The Audit Committee also met with representatives of KPMG, with and without management and the internal auditors present, to discuss the Company’s fiscal year 2024 financial statements and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed the December 28, 2024 audited financial statements with management and reviewed and discussed the status of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with management and the internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and also received written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee had discussions with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm concerning the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm under the rules and regulations governing auditor independence promulgated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Audit Committee had discussions with management and the internal auditors concerning the process used to support certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to accompany the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC.

The Board has determined that Mr. Bannister, Mr. Liang, Mr. Orlando and Mr. Scanlon, each an independent director under the NASDAQ and SEC audit committee structure and membership requirements, meet the SEC criteria of an “audit committee financial expert” under the standards established by Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. Mr. Bannister’s background and experience includes serving as a Managing Director of Deutsche Bank Alex Brown Incorporated, a General Partner of Grotech Capital Group, and as a senior executive with FTI Consulting, Inc., a global business consulting firm listed on the NYSE. In addition, Mr. Bannister was a certified public accountant employed as an audit manager at the firm of Deloitte, Haskins and Sells. Mr. Liang’s background and experience includes serving as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. from 1993 to 2004, culminating his service at Morgan Stanley as the head of global technology investment banking. Mr. Liang also served in key executive roles at Amdocs, Ltd., a publicly held

20

software company listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where he led all corporate strategic planning and acquisition activities and as Vice President, Strategy – Global Technology Services (GTS), IBM’s technology services division, leading initiatives to drive global growth. Mr. Liang also has a Masters in Business Administration (Finance and Marketing) from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics & Economics from Brown University. Mr. Orlando’s background and experience includes serving as the CEO of Covanta from 2004 to 2015, during which time he actively supervised the principal financial and accounting officer of Covanta and helped to oversee and assess the performance of public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing and evaluation of Covanta’s financial statements. Mr. Orlando also has a Masters in Business Administration (Finance) from Seton Hall University. Mr. Scanlon’s background and experience includes serving as the Chief Executive Officer of FNF, a company listed on the NYSE, after serving as the Executive Vice President — Finance of Fidelity National Information Services, also listed on the NYSE, from 2009 to 2010 and the Chief Financial Officer of Fidelity National Information Services from 2008 to 2009. Prior to working at FNF, Mr. Scanlon served as the Chief Financial Officer at several companies in various industries, including real estate, technology and data services as well as at PwC as an accountant.

During 2024, the Audit Committee preapproved the continuation of all non-audit services to be rendered to the Company by the independent registered public accounting firm in 2024 (which services are disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement) and concluded that these services, if any, complied with maintaining the independence of the registered public accounting firm.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025. The Audit Committee has also selected KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2025 and has recommended to the Board that this selection be presented to the stockholders for ratification.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overall Policy

The Company’s executive compensation philosophy is to attract and motivate executive talent best suited to develop and implement the Company’s business strategy. These objectives are attained by tying a significant portion of each executive’s compensation to the Company’s success in meeting specified annual corporate financial performance goals and, through the grant of stock-based awards, aligning the interests of the executives whose compensation is detailed below (the “Named Executives”) to the interests of our stockholders. The Company’s philosophy is to recognize individual contributions while supporting a team approach in achieving overall business objectives and increasing shareholder value.

The key elements of the Company’s executive compensation consist of base salary, annual performance-based incentive payments and stock-based awards. The Company’s policies with respect to each of these elements, including the basis for the compensation awarded, are discussed below.

The Company’s philosophy is to pay annual compensation generally in cash, with long-term incentive compensation paid in the form of stock-based awards. Base salary is intended to constitute a modest percentage of total compensation. The annual incentive compensation program (the “ICP”) is designed to pay substantial compensation for superior performance. Stock-based awards have historically accounted for a significant portion of each Named Executive’s total compensation. In 2024, the Company awarded both performance stock units and restricted stock to each of its Named Executives based on each individual’s level of responsibility and performance and to help align management’s future interests with that of the Company’s stockholders. The Company believes that its compensation practices align executive compensation with financial performance and, as such, executive compensation arrangements are generally aligned with the Company’s variable cost business model.

The Compensation Committee of the Board is solely responsible for decisions with respect to the compensation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee is also responsible, taking into consideration recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer, for decisions with respect to the compensation awarded to the Named Executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, subject to review by the entire Board.

The Company provides its stockholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on Named Executive compensation as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement (commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal). At the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting, approximately 96% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The Compensation Committee believes this affirms stockholders’ support of the Company’s approach to executive compensation. As noted above, the say-on-pay vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee values the opinion of the Company’s stockholders and, to the extent there was any significant vote against the Named Executive compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, would consider the stockholders’ concerns and evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

CEO Transition

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 5, 2023, (i) James B. Gattoni resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, effective February 2, 2024, and (ii) in connection with Mr. Gattoni’s decision to step down, the Company announced the hiring of Frank A. Lonegro as the Company’s next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective February 2, 2024. Mr. Gattoni served as a special advisor to the new Chief Executive Officer until Mr. Gattoni’s retirement date of July 1, 2024. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Lonegro” and “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Gattoni” for more information.

25

Base Salaries

Base salaries for Named Executives are initially determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual. Salary adjustments are determined by evaluating the performance of the Company and of each Named Executive, and also take into account the Named Executive’s assumption of, or changes in, responsibilities, if any. The financial results of the operating functions which report into a Named Executive or for which a Named Executive otherwise has responsibility are also considered. The base salaries of the five Named Executives are detailed in the Summary Compensation Table that follows. As of January 1, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the base salary of Mr. Coro to $400,000 per year and of Mr. Kneller to $425,000.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the Company on November 15, 2024, Mr. Beacom was appointed as President of LSHI and each of its agent-based transportation companies, effective December 1, 2024. In connection with this appointment, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Beacom, dated November 15, 2024, pursuant to which, among other provisions, Mr. Beacom’s annual base salary increased to $400,000. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Beacom” for more information.

Performance Based Compensation

The Company maintains performance-based compensation programs that are designed to encourage the Company’s Named Executives to achieve various financial goals linked to operating objectives both for the Company’s upcoming fiscal year as well as for the longer term performance of the enterprise. The Company’s performance-based compensation programs include the Company’s annual ICP and stock-based awards program, each of which are further described below.

Annual Incentive Compensation Program

The Company’s objective with respect to its annual ICP is to encourage the Company’s Named Executives to achieve various financial goals linked to operating objectives for the Company’s upcoming fiscal year. These annual goals are developed as part of the Company’s budgeting process and in general are aligned with the Company’s long-term objectives with respect to earnings growth. For each annual fiscal period, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves, among other financial metrics, the budgeted amount for diluted earnings per share. In establishing budgeted amounts for diluted earnings per share for 2024, the Company considered 2023 operating results, historical operating trends and forecasted 2024 U.S. economic factors such as industrial production, estimated freight demand and capacity availability. Once the annual budgeted goal is approved by the Compensation Committee, the ICP is designed to incent management to meet and, when possible, to exceed their goals. An executive’s incentive compensation payment continues to increase as actual results for the fiscal year exceed budgeted amounts. As further described below, actual payments under the ICP are calculated based upon how much actual results exceed budgeted diluted earnings per share, using a predetermined formula, up to the maximum annual payment per eligible participant subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For the 2024 fiscal year, the maximum annual ICP payment amount for Mr. Lonegro was $3 million while the maximum annual ICP payment amount for the other eligible participants was $2.5 million.

With respect to the 2024 fiscal year, each of the Named Executives had a “threshold” target under the ICP based on a specific budgeted diluted earnings per share amount approved in connection with the Company’s annual operating budget. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to establish the “threshold” target under the ICP based on diluted earnings per share because (1) each of the Named Executives were in positions of broad responsibility over various components that affect the Company’s diluted earnings per share amount, (2) the Compensation Committee believes that diluted earnings per share is the primary financial measure reflecting the performance of the Company’s overall strategic direction and on that basis evaluates the

26

performance of the Named Executives, (3) the Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to compensate the Named Executives upon achievement of Company-wide, rather than function-specific budgeted targets in order to focus executive management on Company-wide strategic and financial performance goals, (4) the Compensation Committee, at its discretion, has the ability to adjust calculated bonus amounts in the event of extraordinary or unusual items impacting diluted earnings per share and (5) the Company’s performance-based equity programs use a number of other financial measures, including operating income, pre-tax income per diluted share and total shareholder return (“TSR”), to determine executive compensation under those programs, as further described below under “Stock-based Awards”.

The “threshold” amount of diluted earnings per share under the ICP refers to the amount of diluted earnings per share that would be required to give effect to a “one-time incentive payment.” Budgeted diluted earnings per share does not include the aggregate amount of a “one-time incentive payment.” Therefore, each Named Executive would have received no incentive payout if the Company’s actual diluted earnings per share amount for the fiscal year was less than budgeted diluted earnings per share before giving effect to the funding of a one-time incentive payment. Each Named Executive would have received a “one-time incentive payout” if the Company’s actual diluted earnings per share amount for the fiscal year equaled budgeted diluted earnings per share after giving effect to such one-time incentive payment.

A “one-time incentive payment” under the ICP equals the executive’s assigned “participant’s percentage participation” multiplied by such executive’s base salary. The participant percentage participations for the Named Executives in 2024 were as follows: Mr. Lonegro, 100%, Mr. Todd, 50%, Mr. Kneller, 50%, Mr. Coro, 50% and Mr. Beacom, 50%. Mr. Gattoni was not eligible for an incentive payment for fiscal year 2024.

Historically from 2018 to 2023, if the Company’s actual diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year were greater than the “threshold” amount of diluted earnings per share, the ICP payment for each Named Executive would be calculated by multiplying each such executive’s base salary by such executive’s participant percentage participation multiplied by a “multiplier” that is equal to one plus a predetermined factor. The factor equaled 33 1/3 percent for each one percent by which actual diluted earnings per share exceeded threshold diluted earnings per share up to a multiplier of 3.0 for each executive. In other words, each executive would achieve a multiplier of 1.0 if actual diluted earnings per share equaled threshold diluted earnings per share and would achieve an additional multiplier of 2.0 (for a total multiplier of 3.0) if actual diluted earnings per share exceeded threshold diluted earnings per share by six percent. For purposes of this Compensation, Discussion and Analysis and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below, we refer to the amount of diluted earnings per share required to achieve a multiplier of 3.0 as the “target” amount of diluted earnings per share.

In the event actual diluted earnings per share exceeded target diluted earnings per share, a bonus pool would accrue as if the multiplier continued to increase above 3.0 for each participant under the ICP. The bonus pool amount would be calculated by multiplying each such executive’s base salary by such executive’s participant percentage participation multiplied by an “additional multiplier” that is equal to a predetermined factor specific to the bonus pool. With respect to the calculation of the bonus pool, the factor equaled 16 2/3 percent, not 33 1/3 percent, for each one percent by which actual diluted earnings per share exceeded target diluted earnings per share. In other words, once each executive achieved a multiplier of 3.0, if actual diluted earnings per share exceeded target diluted earnings per share by an additional 12 percent, the bonus pool would be calculated based on an additional multiplier of 2.0. The bonus pool is allocable among ICP participants based on the discretion of the Compensation Committee. These calculations of individual amounts for each Named Executive may be adjusted upwards or downwards at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, subject to the $3 million maximum for the CEO and the $2.5 million maximum for the other Named Executives.

Specific to the 2024 fiscal year, “target” diluted earnings per share was set at $7.36, equal to the Company’s 2023 fiscal year diluted earnings per share. The “threshold” amount of diluted earnings per share under the ICP with respect to the 2024 fiscal year was $6.63. A bonus multiplier of 2.0 would have been achieved if diluted earnings per share was equal to the average of fiscal year 2023 diluted earnings per share and 2024 budgeted

27

diluted earnings per share, with linear interpolation between the threshold and target amounts. Diluted earnings per share for the 2024 fiscal year was $5.51, lower than “threshold” diluted earnings per share by 16.9%, or $1.12 per share, and was lower than “target” diluted earnings per share by 25.1%, or $1.85 per share. As the threshold amount of diluted earnings per share under the ICP with respect to the 2024 fiscal year was not achieved, no payments were made to any of the Named Executives under the ICP for the 2024 fiscal year.

Inclusive of fiscal year 2024, the Company has achieved the “threshold” amount of diluted earnings per share in two of the five preceding fiscal years and five of the preceding ten fiscal years. Inclusive of fiscal year 2024, the Company has achieved the “target” amount of diluted earnings per share in two of the five preceding fiscal years and four of the preceding ten fiscal years.

Stock-based Awards

Under the Company’s 2011 Landstar System, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Employee Equity Plan”), stock-based awards may be granted to the Company’s Named Executives and certain other key employees. The Compensation Committee determines the type and number of stock-based awards to be granted to a Named Executive based on such Named Executive’s job responsibilities, the individual performance evaluation of such Named Executive and overall Company performance. Stock-based awards are typically granted to Named Executives once a year.

The Compensation Committee believes that restricted stock, restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) and other forms of stock-based awards that may be granted under the Employee Equity Plan are effective methods that may be used as part of the Company’s long-term compensation program. Over each of the past five years, the Compensation Committee approved to Named Executives on an annual basis the grant of performance related stock awards in the form of RSUs (the “Regular RSU Awards”) and time-based restricted stock awards (the “Regular Restricted Stock Awards”). During the past five years, the Compensation Committee has also approved non-recurring grants of restricted stock (the “Special Restricted Stock Awards”) primarily as a retention tool in connection with the hiring or promotion of certain specific individuals.

Stock-based Awards – Regular RSU Awards

On January 31, 2020, the Company granted an aggregate of 23,270 RSUs to Named Executives. Under these Regular RSU Awards, Mr. Gattoni received 8,950 RSUs, Messrs. Beacom, Coro and Kneller each received 4,475 RSUs and Mr. Todd received 895 RSUs. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Todd received a smaller grant than the other Named Executives as he was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of this grant. The number of RSUs that vest under the 2020 Regular RSU Award is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

On January 29, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 18,440 RSUs to Named Executives. Under these Regular RSU Awards, Mr. Gattoni received 7,093 RSUs, Messrs. Beacom, Coro, and Kneller each received 3,546 RSUs and Mr. Todd received 709 RSUs. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Todd received a smaller grant than the other Named Executives as he was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of this grant. The number of RSUs that vest under the 2021 Regular RSU Award is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

On January 28, 2022, the Company granted an aggregate of 18,701 RSUs to Named Executives. Under these Regular RSU Awards, Mr. Gattoni received 6,562 RSUs, Mr. Kneller received 4,921 RSUs, Messrs. Beacom and Coro each received 3,281 RSUs, and Mr. Todd received 656 RSUs. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Todd received a smaller grant than the other Named Executives as he

28

was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of this grant. The number of RSUs that vest under the 2022 Regular RSU Award is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

On February 3, 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 18,024 RSUs to Named Executives. Under these Regular RSU Awards, Mr. Gattoni received 5,546 RSUs, Mr. Kneller received 4,159 RSUs, and Messrs. Beacom, Coro and Todd each received 2,773 RSUs. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The number of RSUs that vest under the 2023 Regular RSU Award is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

On February 2, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 22,510 RSUs to Named Executives. Under these Regular RSU Awards, Mr. Lonegro received 10,594 RSUs, Mr. Kneller received 3,972 RSUs, and Messrs. Beacom, Coro and Todd each received 2,648 RSUs. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Lonegro a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Lonegro’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The number of RSUs that vest under the 2024 Regular RSU Award is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

For the Regular RSU Awards, each RSU represents the contractual right to receive up to two shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Employee Equity Plan) when the award becomes vested. The number of Regular RSU Awards that vest each year is determined by (a) multiplying the number of RSUs credited to the Named Executive as of the applicable vesting date by (b) the Performance Multiple derived from the chart below, and (c) subtracting therefrom the number of RSUs that have previously vested; provided that, in no event, may the aggregate number of RSUs that become vested exceed 200% of the RSUs credited to the Named Executive under the applicable grant.

For purposes of the Regular RSU Awards, the determination of the Performance Multiple is based on the achievement of the applicable Performance Hurdle. The Performance Hurdle means the average of the percentage change (positive or negative) in operating income and pre-tax income per diluted share, in each case from continuing operations, from the most recently completed fiscal year as compared to the results from continuing operations for the base year, and is as set forth in the chart below, with linear interpolation between Performance Hurdles:

Performance Hurdle |  | Performance Multiple |  | Performance Level |
0% |  | 0% |  |  |  |
25% |  | 50% |  |  |  |
50% |  | 100% |  |  | Target |
75% |  | 150% |  |  |  |
100% |  | 200% |  |  | Maximum |

Pre-tax income per diluted share rather than an after-tax financial earnings metric is used as part of the Performance Hurdle because it is a financial metric that will not be impacted by changes to applicable tax rates, and in particular, potential future changes to the federal corporate tax rate, during the performance period of the applicable RSU. With respect to the 2021 Regular RSU Awards only, the Compensation Committee adjusted the Performance Hurdle to reflect the add back of non-cash impairment charges of approximately $2.6 million recorded in the Company’s 2020 fiscal year related to certain assets, primarily customer contract and related customer relationship intangible assets, held by the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.

No dividends are paid on the Regular RSU Awards and Regular RSU Awards have no voting rights. However, dividend equivalents are credited to the Named Executive with respect to the Regular RSU Awards each time that a dividend is paid on the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend equivalents so credited in respect of each such dividend are equal to the dividend paid on a share of Common

29

Stock multiplied by, respectively, the number of outstanding 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Regular RSU Awards credited to the Named Executive on the dividend record date. The dividend equivalents are converted into additional 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Regular RSU Awards credited to the Named Executive on the dividend payment date based upon the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on such date.

The Compensation Committee has designed the manner in which Regular RSU Awards are deemed to be earned to reflect the level of performance that the Committee expects to be achieved, with a targeted number of units earned if the targeted level of performance is attained, and a maximum number of units earned if the maximum level of performance is attained. An increasing percentage of the Regular RSU Awards is earned based on an increasing level of positive average change in operating income and pre-tax income per diluted share during the five year performance period, such that no portion of the award is earned if there is no positive change based on the applicable calculation, 100% of the number of units credited is earned if the “target” level of positive increase is achieved, and a maximum of 200% of the number of units credited is earned if the “maximum” level of positive increase is achieved, with interpolation between these levels of performance. The Compensation Committee believes the use of a “target” and “maximum” sets expectations associated with these awards both internally to employee recipients as well as to stockholders and other third parties to help them understand the derivation of the value attributed by the Company to these awards at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee further believes that the manner in which these awards are deemed to be earned emphasizes to employee recipients and investors that the expectation at the time of grant is that the employee recipients would need to perform at a high level in order for the Company’s performance to reach the targeted level of operating income and pre-tax income per diluted share for the employees to earn the “target” number of units during the term of the award, and, moreover, that superior performance by the Company is required for the employee recipients to earn the “maximum” performance-based award. With respect to each of these Regular RSU Awards, the number of RSUs that vest is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes a vesting schedule of no less than three, and up to five, years in duration from the date of grant is consistent with the long-term performance goals these awards are intended to reward.

The Compensation Committee has established post-vesting holding period requirements with respect to shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of Regular RSU Awards. Each Named Executive is subject to a one year post-vesting holding requirement with respect to the shares received upon settlement of Regular RSU Awards, net of any applicable withholding obligations in connection with such settlement.

Stock-based Awards – Regular Restricted Stock Awards

On January 29, 2021, 9,219 shares of restricted stock were issued in aggregate to Named Executives that vest in three equal annual installments on January 31 of 2022, 2023 and 2024. Under these restricted stock awards, Mr. Gattoni received 3,546 shares, Messrs. Beacom, Coro, and Kneller each received 1,773 shares and Mr. Todd received 354 shares. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Todd received a smaller grant than the other Named Executives as he was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of this grant.

On January 28, 2022, 8,529 shares of restricted stock were issued in aggregate to Named Executives that vest in three equal annual installments on January 31 of 2023, 2024 and 2025. Under these restricted stock awards, Mr. Gattoni received 3,281 shares, Messrs. Beacom, Coro and Kneller each received 1,640 shares, and Mr. Todd received 328 shares. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Todd received a smaller grant than the other Named Executives as he was not an executive officer of the Company at the time of this grant.

30

On February 3, 2023, 8,317 shares of restricted stock were issued in aggregate to Named Executives that vest in three equal annual installments on January 31 of 2024, 2025 and 2026. Under these restricted stock awards, Mr. Gattoni received 2,773 shares and Messrs. Beacom, Coro, Kneller and Todd each received 1,386 shares. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Gattoni a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Gattoni’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

On February 2, 2024, 10,593 shares of restricted stock were issued in aggregate to Named Executives that vest in three equal annual installments on January 31 of 2025, 2026 and 2027. Under these restricted stock awards, Mr. Lonegro received 5,297 shares and Messrs. Beacom, Coro, Kneller and Todd each received 1,324 shares. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Lonegro a larger grant in recognition of Mr. Lonegro’s broader responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Compensation Committee believes that whereas the Regular RSU Awards are designed to incentivize the attainment of specific financial goals over a multi-year period (as well as rewarding for stock price appreciation), the Regular Restricted Stock Awards serve as a retention tool as they retain value during periods of adverse market volatility while also rewarding for stock price appreciation over time. The Compensation Committee believes that these two equity vehicles when used in conjunction with each other serve to reward long-term financial performance and stock price appreciation while also providing a retention-based benefit for the Named Executive in the event of shorter term market and/or economic turbulence. In determining the amount of the Regular RSU Awards and the Regular Restricted Stock Awards for each Named Executive, the Compensation Committee considered the full equity compensation component of each Named Executive’s annual compensation and allocated such component between Regular RSU Awards and Regular Restricted Stock Awards.

Stock-based Awards – Special Restricted Stock Awards

On January 29, 2021, the Compensation Committee awarded 1,773 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Todd that vest in three equal annual installments on January 31 of 2024, 2025 and 2026. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Todd this non-recurring grant as a special retention award and in connection with his appointment as principal accounting officer.

On February 2, 2024, the Compensation Committee awarded 10,594 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Lonegro that vest in two equal annual installments on February 2 of 2025 and 2026. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Lonegro this non-recurring grant as a sign-on bonus upon his hiring as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Stock-based Awards – Grants of TSR-based RSU Awards to Mr. Lonegro

On February 2, 2024, the Company and Mr. Lonegro entered into an agreement granting Mr. Lonegro 52,971 RSUs that vest based on a market condition (the “2024 Sign-On TSR RSU Award”) and an agreement granting Mr. Lonegro 5,297 RSUs that vest based on a market condition (the “2024 Regular TSR RSU Award”) (together the “2024 TSR RSU Awards”). The fair value of these RSU awards was determined at the time of grant based on the expected achievement of the market condition.

The 2024 TSR RSU Awards may vest based on achievement in any measurement year of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 9% relative to the base year, to be measured annually starting after the sixth anniversary of the grant date and concluding after the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The TSR CAGR over the applicable vesting period is determined by comparing TSR as of the date of the applicable grant with TSR as of the applicable measurement date, in each case using a sixty-day measurement period, other than in the event of a change in control. In the event of a change in control of the Company occurring at any time, the PSUs will vest based on achievement of a stock price that equals 125% of the stock price that achieves the TSR CAGR of 9%. In addition, if any dividends are paid by the Company during the

31

vesting period, dividend equivalents will be credited to Mr. Lonegro under the applicable award as additional RSUs that are eligible to vest based on the achievement of the TSR CAGR of the underlying RSUs to which such dividend equivalents relate. Any RSUs that vest will be settled in shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable after the applicable vesting date.

Mr. Lonegro’s right to receive shares underlying the 2024 TSR RSU Awards is generally conditioned upon his continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. In the event of the termination of employment of Mr. Lonegro due to death or “disability” prior to February 2, 2027, no vesting would occur. In the event of the termination of employment of Mr. Lonegro due to death or “disability” after February 2, 2027, a measurement date would occur on the date of termination of employment and RSUs would be eligible to vest at a pro rata amount if the Target TSR CAGR was achieved.

There are several reasons why the Compensation Committee believes the nature and terms of these grants of 2024 TSR RSU Awards to Mr. Lonegro, on the one hand, as opposed to the Regular RSU Awards, including those to Mr. Lonegro, on the other, are appropriate. The 2024 TSR RSU Awards, primarily consisting of the 2024 Sign-On TSR RSU Award to Mr. Lonegro made upon Mr. Lonegro’s hire as the Company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, are intended to tie the amount of future vesting directly to the Company’s TSR over the vesting period, using growth in TSR over a longer term period from the date of grant, as compared to the vesting periods associated with the Regular RSU Awards, as an additional means to measure the performance of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Regular RSU Awards are intended to be annual, recurring grants, subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee, that the Compensation Committee believes will be the principal long-term performance-based compensation vehicle through which the Named Executives will be granted additional equity in the Company, along with, to a lesser extent, grants of restricted stock. The Compensation Committee believes that growth in operating income and pre-tax income per diluted share are key financial measures reflecting the long-term growth of the enterprise. The Compensation Committee also believes that the Company would have to achieve superior financial performance in order for a Named Executive to vest at the maximum level with respect to a Regular RSU Award granted in 2024. For example, in order for a Named Executive to vest at the maximum level with respect to a Regular RSU Award granted in 2024, the Company would need to achieve in 2026, 2027 or 2028, an average of a 100% increase in operating income and pre-tax earnings per diluted share compared to those achieved in fiscal year 2023.

The Company believes that the granting of stock-based awards in the form of RSUs and restricted stock is designed to encourage the creation of long-term stockholder value as the number of RSUs that vest is dependent upon growth in the Company’s operating income and pre-tax income per diluted share and their value varies directly with the Company’s stock price and the benefit realized from restricted stock varies directly with the Company’s stock price. Further, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s use of stock-based awards is key as a retention tool, as the continued employment of the Named Executives is an important factor relating to the Company’s strategic execution and growth.

Stock-based Awards – Grants of TSR-based RSU Awards to Mr. Gattoni

During 2018, the Company and Mr. Gattoni entered into an agreement granting Mr. Gattoni 9,324 RSUs that had the potential to vest based on a market condition (the “2018 TSR RSU Award”). Portions of the 2018 TSR RSU Award vested on June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 and the remaining unvested RSUs were forfeited. The maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the 2018 TSR RSU Award equaled 150% of the number of RSUs awarded. The fair value of this RSU award was determined at the time of grant based on the expected achievement of the market condition at the end of each vesting period.

During 2019, the Company and Mr. Gattoni entered into an agreement granting Mr. Gattoni 9,725 RSUs that had the potential to vest based on a market condition (the “2019 TSR RSU Award”). Portions of the 2019 TSR RSU Award vested on June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Upon Mr. Gattoni’s retirement from employment on July 1, 2024, he forfeited the opportunity for additional vesting under the 2019 TSR RSU Award following

32

his retirement date. The maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the 2019 TSR RSU Award equaled 150% of the number of RSUs awarded. The fair value of this RSU award was determined at the time of grant based on the expected achievement of the market condition at the end of each vesting period.

Under the terms of the 2018 TSR RSU Award and the 2019 TSR RSU Award (collectively the “Gattoni TSR RSU Awards”), TSR CAGR over the applicable vesting period was determined as of the beginning and end of each performance period using a sixty day measurement period, other than in the event of a change in control. The “payout percentage” as of each vesting date is as follows, with straight line interpolation between performance levels:

Performance Level |  | If TSR CAGR is: |  | Then the Payout Percentage is:
Maximum |  | 12.0% or greater |  | 150%
Target |  | 10.0% |  | 100%
Threshold |  | 8.0% |  | 50%
<Threshold |  | Less than 8.0% |  | 0%

To the extent these Gattoni TSR RSU Awards were not vested at the maximum level in the chart above as of the first or second vesting dates, such Gattoni TSR RSU Awards were again eligible to vest at the next vesting date based on the “payout percentage” achieved as of such next vesting date. In addition, if any dividends were paid by the Company during the vesting period, dividend equivalents were credited to Mr. Gattoni under the applicable award as additional Gattoni TSR RSU Awards that are eligible to vest based on the “payout percentage” achieved as of the future vesting dates of the underlying Gattoni TSR RSU Awards to which such dividend equivalents relate. Any Gattoni TSR RSU Awards that vested were settled in shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable after the applicable vesting date.

Clawback Rights

On August 10, 2023, the Board adopted a new clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) that provides for the recovery of certain “Incentive-Based Compensation” (as defined in the Clawback Policy) in the event of an “Accounting Restatement” (as defined in the Clawback Policy). The Clawback Policy is designed to comply with and be interpreted to be consistent with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608.

Effective October 1, 2023, the Clawback Policy requires that in the event the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall promptly recoup the amount of any “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” (as defined in the Clawback Policy) received by any Named Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare such Accounting Restatement within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. The amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery under the Clawback Policy, as determined by the Board, is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received by the Named Executive that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been received by the Named Executive had it been determined based on the restated amounts. Amounts paid to a Named Executive under the Company’s annual ICP and amounts received by a Named Executive upon vesting of Regular RSU Awards or TSR-based RSU Awards granted to a Named Executive under the Employee Equity Plan are considered Incentive-Based Compensation subject to the Clawback Policy.

This summary of the Clawback Policy is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Clawback Policy, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 97.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, and incorporated herein by reference.

Equity Ownership Guidelines

The Company believes that equity interests held by management help to align the interests of stockholders and management and maximizes stockholder returns over the long term. To that end, the Compensation Committee has established equity ownership guidelines for each Named Executive based on a multiple of the annual salary of such Named Executive. These guidelines recommend that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company beneficially own equity value in the Company’s Common Stock of no less than seven times the annual salary of such Chief Executive Officer and that each of the other Named Executives of the Company beneficially own equity value in the Company’s Common Stock of no less than four times the annual salary of such Named Executive, in each case to be achieved within five years of an individual’s initial appointment as a Named Executive. For purposes of these equity ownership guidelines, equity value in the Company’s Common Stock includes: (1) the value of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Named Executive, plus (2) the value of outstanding restricted shares of Common Stock, either vested or unvested, beneficially owned by the Named Executive. No value is attributed to any unvested RSUs issued to a Named Executive for purposes of compliance with these equity ownership guidelines. On the basis of these criteria, each currently employed Named Executive who has served at least five years as a Named Executive is in compliance with these equity ownership guidelines. In the event a Named Executive is not in compliance with these equity ownership guidelines, the Named Executive is expected to hold no less than 50% of the after-tax number of shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of restricted stock units until compliance with these equity ownership guidelines is achieved.

Policy Regarding Hedging and Pledging of Company Stock

The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits the hedging and pledging of the Common Stock by certain members of the Company’s leadership, including all Named Executives, under any circumstances, and prohibits all employees of the Company from entering into or trading any exchange-traded security which is a derivative of the Common Stock of the Company. This summary of a portion of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by such policy, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference.

Deferred Compensation

The Company maintains an Internal Revenue Service Code Section 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for all eligible employees. The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for all officers, including the Named Executives, of the Company and its subsidiaries. The SERP is designed to provide officers with the option to receive the benefits that are offered under the Company’s 401(k) Plan (tax deferred investment of a certain percentage of the executive’s salary and/or bonus and a Company matching contribution on a certain portion of the executive’s contribution) on the portion of the executive’s salary that is not eligible to be included under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, because it is above the various limitations established in the Internal Revenue Code. Except for the elimination of the maximum salary limitations, the benefits and the investment options of the SERP are the same as the 401(k) Plan. Messrs. Lonegro, Gattoni, Kneller, Beacom and Todd have elected to participate in the SERP.

Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements

The Board has approved the execution of Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements for each of the Named Executives to assure that each of these officers will have a minimum level of personal financial security in the context of a change in control transaction to avoid undue distraction due to the risks of job security and to enable such officer to act in the best interests of stockholders without being influenced by such officer’s economic interests. Each agreement provides certain severance benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company. Generally, (i) if on or before the second anniversary of a “change in control” (x) the Company

34

terminates the covered executive’s employment for any reason other than for “cause” or “disability” or (y) the covered executive voluntarily terminates his employment for “good reason” or (ii) if the covered executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, “disability” or “cause” or by the covered executive for “good reason” after the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to a change in control transaction but prior to the consummation thereof, and the transaction contemplated by such definitive agreement is subsequently consummated, such executive will be entitled to severance benefits consisting of a lump sum cash amount equal to a multiple of the sum of (A) the executive’s annual base salary and (B) the amount that would have been payable to the executive as an annual “threshold” incentive compensation bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs, determined by multiplying his annual base salary by his total “participant percentage participation” established for such year under the ICP. The applicable multiples are: two times for Messrs. Coro, Kneller, Lonegro and Todd and one time for Mr. Beacom. Severance multiples for Named Executives were established based on their position and the potential impact to their continued employment in the event of a change in control and to remain competitive within our industry. Each agreement also provides the covered executive with a pro rata payout of the “threshold” annual bonus amount for the year of employment termination of such covered executive and for continuation of medical benefits for up to one year from the date of employment termination.

The Company believes that the terms of our Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements are consistent with market practice and assist us in retaining the services of our Named Executives.

Other Benefits and Arrangements

The Company provides the Named Executives with certain other benefits and arrangements that the Company believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to enable the Company to continue to attract and maintain highly qualified individuals in key positions. The Company pays the premium associated with term life insurance policies for all its employees including each of the Named Executives. The dollar value paid by the Company on behalf of each of the Named Executives with respect to these policies is included in the Summary Compensation Table below. The Board has approved and the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Named Executives providing each such Named Executive with a contractual obligation from the Company to indemnify such individual in connection with such individual’s service as an employee of the Company (and in the case of Mr. Lonegro, his service as a member of the Board) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Company retains discretion to provide Named Executives with the use of certain equipment in connection with their job responsibilities, including smart phone and other computer and communications equipment and maintenance of connectivity for such equipment in the Named Executive’s home.

Letter Agreement with Mr. Lonegro

As referenced previously, on December 5, 2023, the Company announced the hiring of Frank A. Lonegro as the Company’s next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective February 2, 2024. The Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Lonegro Letter Agreement”) with Mr. Lonegro, dated December 4, 2023, that provides that Mr. Lonegro will receive an annual base salary of $800,000 and will be eligible for a bonus under the Company’s annual ICP with a “threshold” target bonus percentage of 100% of his annual base salary. The Lonegro Letter Agreement also provided Mr. Lonegro with a sign-on bonus of $2,000,000 worth of restricted stock, granted on February 2, 2024, under the Company’s Employee Equity Plan that vests in two equal annual installments on each of the first two anniversaries of Mr. Lonegro’s start date, $800,000 in cash to compensate Mr. Lonegro for forgoing a 2023 bonus with his former employer to accommodate his start date with the Company, which amount would have been required to be repaid if Mr. Lonegro had been terminated for “cause” or had resigned without “good reason” prior to the first anniversary of his start date, and a grant of $10,000,000 worth of performance-related restricted stock units (“PSUs”), which will vest based on achievement in any measurement year of TSR of a CAGR of 9% relative to the base year, to be measured annually starting after the sixth anniversary of his start date and concluding after the tenth anniversary of his start date. In the event of a

35

change in control of the Company occurring at any time, the PSUs will vest based on achievement of a stock price that equals 125% of the stock price that achieves the TSR CAGR of 9%.

Under the Lonegro Letter Agreement, Mr. Lonegro is also eligible for annual equity grants under the Employee Equity Plan, with initial grants in February 2024 of (i) $2,000,000 of Regular RSU Awards, the vesting of which is determined on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date, (ii) $1,000,000 worth of Regular Restricted Stock Awards, which will vest in three equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and (iii) $1,000,000 worth of PSUs, which will vest (A) based on achievement in any measurement year of TSR with a CAGR of 9% relative to the base year, to be measured annually starting after the sixth anniversary of the grant date of the award and concluding after the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the award or (B) in the event of a change in control occurring at any time, based on achievement of a stock price that equals 125% of the stock price that achieves the TSR CAGR of 9%.

Pursuant to the Lonegro Letter Agreement, the Company also entered into a Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement with Mr. Lonegro, which includes an applicable multiple for Mr. Lonegro of two times, and otherwise is consistent with the terms and provisions described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements”. The Lonegro Letter Agreement also entitled Mr. Lonegro to certain relocation benefits for which he received $400,000 from the Company in 2024.

The Lonegro Letter Agreement does not have a fixed term and provides for compensation and benefits payable in the Company’s discretion. Either the Company or Mr. Lonegro may terminate his employment at any time. If the Company terminates Mr. Lonegro’s employment without “cause” other than in a situation where severance is payable under the Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Lonegro severance within 30 days of the one-year anniversary of his termination date in the amount of Mr. Lonegro’s annual base salary and “threshold” target annual bonus and will continue to cover his medical benefits for 12 months following his termination, subject, in each case, to Mr. Lonegro’s signing a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants.

Letter Agreement with Mr. Gattoni

The Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Gattoni, dated December 4, 2023, pursuant to which, from the date of Mr. Gattoni’s resignation as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer until his retirement date of July 1, 2024, Mr. Gattoni served as a special advisor to Mr. Lonegro, the new Chief Executive Officer, to aid in a smooth transition. In this role, Mr. Gattoni’s annual base salary remained the same, but he was not eligible for a bonus under the Company’s 2024 ICP or new annual grants under the Employee Equity Plan. The Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement with Mr. Gattoni was also terminated and of no further effect as of February 2, 2024.

Letter Agreement with Mr. Beacom

In connection with Mr. Beacom’s appointment as President of LSHI and each of the Agent-Based Operating Companies, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Beacom, dated November 15, 2024. Pursuant to this letter agreement, Mr. Beacom’s annual base salary increased to $400,000, and he will be eligible for an annual bonus under the Company’s annual ICP with a “threshold” target bonus percentage of 80% of his annual base salary. The letter agreement also provides that as of December 28, 2025 (the first day of the Company’s 2026 fiscal year), Mr. Beacom will transition to the role of Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company until his anticipated retirement from employment as of March 1, 2026. Under the letter agreement, Mr. Beacom’s base salary will remain the same in the Special Advisor position, but he will not be eligible for a bonus for any portion of the 2026 fiscal year, he will not receive any new equity grants under Landstar’s Employee Equity Plan, and his Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement will be terminated as of December 28, 2025.

Compensation Consultants

The Compensation Committee has the authority to hire and negotiate the terms of compensation for its advisers, including compensation consultants. During 2024, the Compensation Committee used the services of Compensation Strategies, Inc. to assist it in designing and structuring a long-term incentive award in connection with a sign-on equity grant for Mr. Lonegro. During 2023, the Compensation Committee used the services of Compensation Strategies, Inc. to assist it in reviewing an appropriate peer group of other transportation and logistics companies, and benchmarking CEO executive compensation, including base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation, in comparison to that peer group in connection with the process to identify and hire Mr. Lonegro as the successor to Mr. Gattoni as the Company’s CEO. In prior years, the Compensation Committee used the services of Compensation Strategies, Inc. (i) to benchmark the Company’s executive compensation program, including base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation, in comparison to an appropriate peer group of other transportation and logistics companies, (ii) to benchmark Director compensation, (iii) to review the Company’s compensation philosophy and the structure and various design features of each component of the executive compensation program, and (iv) to review the Company’s equity ownership guidelines for its Directors and Named Executives. The Compensation Committee determined that the work of the consultants did not raise any conflicts of interest taking into consideration the independence factors enumerated in Rule 10C-1(b) of the Exchange Act. No member of the Compensation Committee or any Named Executive has any affiliation with the consultants. In 2023, the Company paid $14,900 in fees to Compensation Strategies, Inc. with respect to its review of CEO executive compensation. In 2024, the Company paid $5,275 in fees to Compensation Strategies, Inc. with respect to its assistance in connection with a long-term incentive award for Mr. Lonegro.

Peer Group

During 2023, the Compensation Committee used the services of Compensation Strategies, Inc. to assist it for purposes of benchmarking Chief Executive Officer compensation against a peer group consisting of 15 other transportation and logistics companies. This peer group consisted of:

ArcBest Corporation |  | J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. |  | Saia, Inc.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. |  | Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings, Inc. |  | Schneider National Inc.
Daseke, Inc. (1) |  | Matson, Inc. |  | Universal Logistics Services, Inc.
Forward Air Corporation |  | Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. |  | Werner Enterprises, Inc.
Hub Group, Inc. |  | Ryder System, Inc. |  | Yellow Corporation (1)

(1) | Daseke, Inc. and Yellow Corporation have ceased to be publicly listed and are no longer used by the Company for purposes of peer group benchmarking.

Tax Considerations

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Prior to the Tax Reform Act, Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallowed a tax deduction for compensation over $1 million paid to our Named Executive Officers who are considered “covered employees” under this rule. Performance-based compensation was exempt from this deduction limitation if specified requirements set forth in the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations were satisfied. The Company previously undertook to qualify substantial components of the performance-based incentive compensation available to Named Executives to be exempt from this deduction limitation.

Beginning with fiscal year 2018, the Tax Reform Act eliminated the performance-based compensation exception to the deductibility limitation under Section 162(m), other than with respect to certain “grandfathered” performance-based awards granted prior to November 2, 2017. Performance-based equity awards that were granted under the Company’s stockholder-approved employee equity plan prior to November 2, 2017, including performance-based RSUs, were designed to meet these requirements. None of these awards remain outstanding.

37

The Compensation Committee’s philosophy strongly emphasizes performance-based compensation, which had historically minimized the consequences of the Section 162(m) limit on deductibility. The Company believes that tax deductibility of compensation is an important factor, but not the sole factor, to be considered in setting executive compensation policy, and in light of the changes to Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee has authorized, and is expected to continue to authorize, payments that are not deductible for federal income tax purposes when the Compensation Committee believes that such payments are appropriate to attract, retain and incentivize executive talent.

All unvested RSUs expire on March 1, 2029. The estimated future payouts under this award assume: (i) 200 percent of the number of units credited to the recipient under the granted award will vest at the maximum payout, (ii) 100 percent of the number of units credited to the recipient under the granted award will vest at the target and (iii) no awards are assumed to vest at the threshold. Amounts shown are based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions for these stock awards. The grant date fair market value per share of this award was $188.78.

To the extent the employee has achieved the maximum allowable matching contribution under the Landstar System, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), the Company will contribute an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of salary contributions and 50% of the next 2% of such salary contributions, subject to certain limitations. Interest, earnings or appreciation (less losses and depreciation) with respect to investment balances included in the employee’s SERP account balance are credited to the employee’s investment balance. Distributions under the SERP of individual account balances credited on or after January 1, 2005, and earnings thereon, are made following termination of employment as to form of payment (i.e., lump sum or annual installments) and time of payment (i.e., within 30 days following the six-month anniversary of the employee’s termination of employment or within 30 days of March 1 of the year following the year of termination from employment of the participant) elected by the participant for that year’s contributions prior to the start of each year of participation, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the SERP.

Potential Payment Upon Termination or Change in Control

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each of the current Named Executives in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control or possible change in control under the Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements, as further described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement as of the end of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s stock-based award plans, all outstanding, non-vested restricted stock are subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company. The intent of the potential acceleration of non-vested restricted stock in the event of a change in control is to enable the executive to vest in an award primarily intended as a retention tool that would otherwise have vested based solely on the passage of time and the executive’s continued employment with the Company, which may not be possible or permitted by an acquirer following a change in control of the Company due to no fault of the executive.

With respect to outstanding Regular RSU Awards granted to Named Executives, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, in the event a change in control occurs prior to January 31, 2026 with respect to the 2021 awards, prior to January 31, 2027 with respect to the 2022 awards, prior to January 31, 2028 with respect to the 2023 awards and prior to January 31, 2029 with respect to the 2024 awards, 20% of the number of RSUs credited to the Named Executive under each such RSU award would vest to the extent such amount would not exceed the number of RSUs that are eligible to vest at the maximum level under the applicable award. The intent of these partial potential accelerations of Regular RSU awards in the event of a change in control is to compensate the executive for 20% of the target amount under each such award in lieu of potential vesting for the year of the change in control. In addition, with respect to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 Regular RSU Awards, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, in the event a change in control occurs prior to January 31, 2025, January 31, 2026, or January 31, 2027, respectively, a number of RSUs would vest under each such award assuming for this purpose that the applicable Performance Hurdle was calculated based on the results from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the change in control compared to the

44

results from continuing operations for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 fiscal years, respectively. The intent of these partial potential accelerations of Regular RSU Awards in the event of a change in control is to compensate the executive for the performance of the Company achieved during fiscal years completed during the initial three year performance period under each award where the change in control occurs prior to the first vesting date under such award approximately three years from the date of grant.

With respect to the 2024 TSR RSU Awards to Mr. Lonegro, in the event of a change in control of the Company occurring at any time, the RSUs would vest based on achievement of a stock price that equals 125% of the stock price that achieves the TSR CAGR of 9%.

Name |  | Change in Control (1) ($)
Frank A. Lonegro |  |  |  | 7,174,160 |
James P. Todd |  |  |  | 2,181,487 |
Michael K. Kneller |  |  |  | 2,407,676 |
Joseph J. Beacom |  |  |  | 1,601,869 |
Ricardo S. Coro |  |  |  | 2,164,369 |

(1) | Change in Control amounts include severance benefits, pro rata threshold bonus and medical benefits under the Key Executive Employment Protection Agreements, as described further in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, plus the intrinsic value of unvested restricted stock and a portion of RSUs outstanding based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $174.32 on December 27, 2024 and assuming partial accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company, effective as of that date. The value of medical benefits for each Named Executive equals the payments that may be waived by the Company on behalf of such Named Executive for the continuation of existing coverage for up to one year under the Company’s medical benefit plans pursuant to such Named Executive’s Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement.

Apart from the payments described in connection with a change in control, in the event of the termination of employment of a Named Executive due to death or “disability”, non-vested restricted stock held by such Named Executive would accelerate and vest. The value of such acceleration for Mr. Lonegro is $2,770,119, for Mr. Todd is $617,093 and for Messrs. Kneller, Beacom and Coro is $487,050. In addition, with respect to the sign-on bonus of $2,000,000 worth of restricted stock, granted to Mr. Lonegro on February 2, 2024, that vests in two equal annual installments on each of the first two anniversaries of Mr. Lonegro’s start date, such shares would also accelerate and vest upon a termination of Mr. Lonegro without “cause” or upon a resignation by Mr. Lonegro for “good reason”. The value of such acceleration for Mr. Lonegro is $1,846,746. The value in each case for each Named Executive is based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $174.32 on December 27, 2024. In addition, in the event of the termination of employment of a Named Executive due to death or “disability”, the Regular RSU Awards held by such Named Executive would remain outstanding and continue to vest on the normal schedule based on actual achievement of the applicable Performance Hurdles. With respect to the 2024 TSR RSU Awards to Mr. Lonegro, in the event of the termination of employment of Mr. Lonegro due to death or “disability” prior to February 2, 2027, no vesting would occur. In the event of the termination of employment of Mr. Lonegro due to death or “disability” after February 2, 2027, a measurement date would occur on the date of termination of employment and RSUs would be eligible to vest at a pro rata amount if the Target TSR CAGR was achieved.

Outside the circumstances described above with respect to a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control or upon the Named Executive’s death or “disability”, none of the Named Executives, other than Mr. Lonegro, is entitled to severance benefits. As further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Lonegro,” if the Company terminates Mr. Lonegro’s employment without “cause” other than in a situation where severance is payable under the Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Lonegro severance within 30 days of the one-year anniversary of his termination date in the amount of Mr. Lonegro’s annual base salary and

45

“threshold” target annual bonus and will continue to cover his medical benefits for 12 months following his termination, subject, in each case, to Mr. Lonegro’s signing a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants.

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, Landstar is providing the following information regarding the relationship of compensation of employees of the Company and its affiliates and compensation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The pay ratio set forth below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

Landstar identified its “median employee” by examining the 2024 total cash compensation for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by the Company on December 28, 2024, the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. All employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time or temporary basis, were included in this calculation. The Company (i) did not make any assumptions, adjustments or estimates with respect to total cash compensation, (ii) did not annualize the compensation for any employees that were not employed by Landstar or any of its affiliates for all of 2024, and (iii) did not make any “cost of living” adjustments to the compensation of any employees. The Company believes the use of total cash compensation for all employees is a consistently applied compensation measure as the Company does not widely distribute annual equity awards throughout its employee workforce. After identifying the median employee based on total cash compensation, the Company calculated annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology used for the Named Executives as set forth in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table.

As further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Lonegro”, in connection with the hiring of Mr. Lonegro as the Company’s next President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company provided Mr. Lonegro with a sign-on bonus of $2,000,000 worth of restricted stock, granted on February 2, 2024, under the Company’s Employee Equity Plan that vests in two equal annual installments on each of the first two anniversaries of Mr. Lonegro’s start date, $800,000 in cash to compensate Mr. Lonegro for forgoing a 2023 bonus with his former employer, a grant of $10,000,000 worth of PSUs, which will vest based on achievement in any measurement year of TSR of a CAGR of 9% relative to the base year, to be measured annually starting after the sixth anniversary of his start date and concluding after the tenth anniversary of his start date, and $400,000 in cash for relocation benefits (collectively, the “CEO Sign-on Compensation Elements”). Each of the CEO Sign-on Compensation Elements are reflected in the calculation of CEO pay used to determine the 2024 CEO to median employee pay ratio, which as illustrated in the table below, was 244.6:1. However, it should be noted that as each of the CEO Sign-on Compensation Elements specifically related to the hiring of Mr. Lonegro, it is not anticipated that these CEO Sign-on Compensation Elements will be recurring elements of Mr. Lonegro’s compensation arrangements during his tenure as the Company’s President and CEO.

(1) | Base salary for the President and CEO includes an adjustment from the amount presented in the Summary Compensation Table to reflect Mr. Lonegro’s annualized salary of $800,000 as though he was employed by Landstar for all of 2024.

(2) | All Other Compensation for the President and CEO includes an adjustment from the amount presented in the Summary Compensation Table to reflect annualized HSA contributions made by the Company for Mr. Lonegro of $1,500 and annualized term life insurance premiums paid by the Company on behalf of Mr. Lonegro of $4,902 as though Mr. Lonegro was employed by and eligible for benefits from Landstar for all of 2024.

Item 402(s) Statement

The Compensation Committee has considered the potential risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for all employees and does not believe the risks from those compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
Landstar is providing the following additional information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and the financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s variable
pay-for-performance
philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, please refer to “
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
” in this Proxy Statement.
The following table summarizes the “compensation actually paid” to (i) the current Principal Executive Officer (“Current PEO”), (ii) the former Principal Executive Officer (“Former PEO”) and (ii) the average “compensation actually paid” to the remaining Named Executive Officers other than the PEO with respect to applicable fiscal years. “Compensation actually paid” does not correlate to the total amount of cash or equity compensation that the executive actually realized or was paid during the fiscal year. Instead, it is a nuanced calculation that includes the increase (or decrease) in value of certain elements of compensation (i.e., equity compensation) over the fiscal year, even if granted in a prior year. The amounts that the executive will ultimately receive with respect to these types of compensation (i.e., when and if the equity awards vest) are likely to be different from the amounts disclosed in this column of the Pay Versus Performance table set forth below. The following Pay Versus Performance table also provides certain information describing the Company’s financial performance for each of the covered fiscal years.

(1) | The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Lonegro, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer and current PEO, for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table included in the section “Compensation of Named Executives ” in this Proxy Statement. As Mr. Lonegro was hired on February 2, 2024, there was no compensation paid by the Company to Mr. Lonegro with respect to fiscal years 2023, 2022, 2021 or 2020.

(2) | The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Lonegro, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Lonegro during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Lonegro’s total compensation for each year to determine the compensation actually paid:

Year |  | Reported Summary Compensation Table Total for Current PEO |  |  | Reported Value of Equity Awards (a) |  |  | Equity Award Adjustments (b) |  |  | Compensation Actually Paid to Current PEO |
2024 |  |  | 13,374,405 |  |  |  | 11,395,182 |  |  |  | 8,846,071 |  |  |  | 10,825,294 |

(a) | The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

Table of Contents

(b) | The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (v) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on equity awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The fair value of equity awards at each measurement date is computed in a manner consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for equity awards in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. For restricted stock awards, the fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year is computed as the unvested restricted shares outstanding as of the end of the covered fiscal year multiplied by the Company’s closing stock price as of the last business day of the covered fiscal year. For RSUs with a performance or market condition, the fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year is computed based on the unvested RSUs expected to vest based on the most probable outcome of the performance or market condition for these awards multiplied by the Company’s closing stock price as of the last business day of the covered fiscal year or based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year. For stock awards vested during the covered fiscal year, the fair value at vesting is calculated as the number of shares vested multiplied by the average of the high and low stock prices on the vesting date. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

Year |  | Year End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in the Year |  |  | Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards |  |  | Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years that Vested in the Year |  |  | Fair Value at the End of the Prior Year of Equity Awards that Failed to Meet Vesting Conditions in the Year |  |  | Value of Dividends or other Earnings Paid on Stock or Option Awards not Otherwise Reflected in Fair Value or Total Compensation |  |  | Total Equity Award Adjustments |

(3) | The dollar amounts reported in column (d) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Gattoni, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer and former PEO, for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table included in the section “Compensation of Named Executives ” in this Proxy Statement.

(4) | The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Gattoni, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Gattoni during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Gattoni’s total compensation for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 3:

(9) | The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.

(10) | The Company determined diluted earnings per share to be the Company Selected Measure, which in the Company’s assessment represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s Named Executive for the most recently completed fiscal year to Company performance. The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of diluted earnings per share reflected in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis”
,
the Company maintains performance-based compensation programs that are designed to encourage the Company’s Named Executives to achieve various financial goals linked to operating objectives both for the Company’s upcoming fiscal year as well as for the longer term performance of the enterprise. The Company’s performance-based compensation programs include the Company’s performance-based annual incentive compensation program and stock-based awards program. The Company believes that its compensation practices align executive compensation with financial performance and, as such, executive compensation arrangements are generally aligned with the Company’s variable cost business model.
51

Table of Contents
The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s Named Executives, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:

| • |  | Operating income

| • |  | Pre-tax income per diluted share

| • |  | Diluted earnings per share

| • |  | Total shareholder return

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
As described in greater detail in the section “
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
”, the Company’s philosophy is to pay annual compensation generally in cash, with long-term incentive compensation paid in the form of stock-based awards. Base salary is intended to constitute a modest percentage of total compensation. The ICP is designed to pay substantial compensation for superior performance. Stock-based awards have historically accounted for a significant portion of each Named Executive’s total compensation.
The Company’s performance-based compensation programs are designed to encourage the Company’s Named Executives to achieve various financial goals linked to operating objectives both for the Company’s upcoming fiscal year as well as for the longer term performance of the enterprise. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K)
for a particular year.
Relationships Between Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
the Company is providing the following information relating to relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. As noted above, “compensation actually paid” does not correlate to the total amount of cash or equity compensation that the executive actually realized or was paid during the fiscal year. Instead, it is a nuanced calculation that includes the increase (or decrease) in value of certain elements of compensation (
i.e.
, equity compensation) over the fiscal year, even if granted in a prior year. The amounts that the executive will ultimately receive with respect to these types of compensation (
i.e.
, when and if the equity awards vest) are likely to be different from the amounts disclosed in this column of the Pay Versus Performance table.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s Executive Officers and Directors, and certain persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Form 5 was required, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, all reports required by Section 16(a) which are applicable to its Executive Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were filed on a timely basis, except that on December 13, 2024, Mr. Miller sold 144 shares in the Landstar System, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan. The Form 4 reporting this transaction was filed on February 10, 2025.

PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO —

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The firm of KPMG LLP served as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023. The aggregate fees billed for professional services by KPMG LLP in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 for services consisted of the following:

AUDIT FEES: Fees for the audits of the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, quarterly reviews and subsidiary audit were $1,260,000 and $1,190,000 for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

AUDIT RELATED FEES: None.

TAX FEES: None.

ALL OTHER FEES: None.

The Audit Committee has approved all of the fees above.

The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP to continue in that capacity for the Company’s fiscal year 2025, and has recommended to the Board that a resolution be presented to stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting to ratify that appointment. The Board has adopted such resolution and hereby presents it to the Company’s stockholders. A representative of KPMG LLP will be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to questions from stockholders, as appropriate.

Assuming the presence of a Quorum, to be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, present, in person or by proxy, at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Abstentions from voting and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE –

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Landstar’s executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain the Named Executives, who are critical to the Company’s success. Under these programs, the Named Executives are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and corporate goals and the realization of increased stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed effectively to take into account both short term and longer term performance components using a variety of financial metrics. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” included in this Proxy Statement for additional details about the executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2024 compensation of the Named Executives.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the compensation programs for the Named Executives to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning the Company’s executive compensation structure with current market practices and the interests of stockholders. While the Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Named Executives in the manner described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company understands that stockholders may be particularly interested in the connection between our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation and the Company’s performance, as well as the long-term trend of the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation relative to the stockholders’ return.

As further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Letter Agreement with Mr. Lonegro”, a significant portion of total compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in 2024 directly related to the hiring of Mr. Lonegro as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective February 2, 2024. In connection with Mr. Lonegro’s hiring, the Company provided him with a sign-on bonus of $2,000,000 worth of restricted stock, granted on February 2, 2024, under the Company’s Employee Equity Plan that vests in two equal annual installments on each of the first two anniversaries of Mr. Lonegro’s start date, $800,000 in cash to compensate Mr. Lonegro for forgoing a 2023 bonus with his former employer, a grant of $10,000,000 worth of PSUs, which will vest based on achievement in any measurement year of TSR of a CAGR of 9% relative to the base year, to be measured annually starting after the sixth anniversary of his start date and concluding after the tenth anniversary of his start date, and $400,000 in cash for relocation benefits. The Compensation Committee believes these sign-on related compensatory arrangements were of significant importance with respect to the recruitment and hiring of Mr. Lonegro to become the Company’s next President and CEO, but does not anticipate that these elements of Mr. Lonegro’s compensation arrangements with the Company will be recurring during his tenure as the Company’s President and CEO. The Compensation Committee also believes that the significant sign-on grant of TSR-based PSUs upon Mr. Lonegro’s commencement of employment with the potential for performance-based vesting after the sixth anniversary of his start date and concluding after his tenth anniversary with the Company will help to align his long-term compensatory incentive arrangements with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

With respect to the other aspects of Mr. Lonegro’s compensation arrangements as well as compensation paid to the other Named Executives in 2024, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, a significant portion of compensation is designed to be “performance based” (as discussed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”).

The macroeconomic environment experienced throughout most of 2024 by the truckload transportation logistics industry was characterized by softness in demand and readily available truck capacity. On an annual basis, the Company experienced year-over-year declines in both truck volumes and price, and revenue for fiscal year 2024 was 9% below that of fiscal year 2023. Total compensation paid to Named Executives with respect to fiscal year 2024 reflected this year-over-year challenging operating environment. As noted above in “Compensation, Discussion and Analysis – Performance Based Compensation; Annual Incentive Compensation,” the Company did not achieve its “threshold” amount of full year diluted earnings per share under the ICP, which

59

would have resulted in payments to Named Executives under our annual incentive compensation program. As a result, no annual bonus payments were made to any of the Named Executives under the ICP for the 2024 fiscal year.

Notwithstanding the difficult operating environment faced by the Company in 2024 which was reflected in the Company’s short-term executive compensation program, the Company continues to demonstrate strong long-term performance. As noted above in “Pay Versus Performance”, the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five-year period from the beginning of its 2020 fiscal year through the end of its 2024 fiscal year was 70%, while the cumulative TSR of the Dow Jones Transportation Stock Index was 47% over that period. Accordingly, as part of the Company’s long-term compensation program, Named Executives received Regular Restricted Stock Awards and Regular RSU Awards in 2024. Moreover, the Compensation Committee believes compensation realized by Named Executives in 2024 as part of the Company’s long-term compensation program demonstrated that the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed effectively to take into account both short-term and longer-term performance components.

We are asking the stockholders to indicate their support for the Named Executive compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives the stockholders the opportunity each year to express their views on the Named Executives’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executives and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask the stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executives, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2024 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

This say-on-pay vote, as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of the Company’s stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider the stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Approval of Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual Meeting, provided a Quorum is present. Unless you instruct us to vote differently, we will vote valid proxies FOR the approval of the compensation paid by the Company to its Named Executives as discussed in this Proxy Statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION PAID BY THE COMPANY TO ITS NAMED EXECUTIVES AS DISCUSSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.
