Growth, debt moves and pay plans at Solaris Energy (NYSE: SEI)
Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. calls its 2026 annual stockholder meeting for May 15, 2026, asking holders to elect three Class III directors, ratify BDO USA as auditor, and approve an advisory vote on executive pay. Only Class A and Class B common stockholders of record on March 20, 2026 may vote.
The company reports 2025 revenue of $622.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $244.2 million, driven by power generation capacity expansion and logistics cash flows. Solaris completed the MER Acquisition for equity valued at about $323.1 million and issued $155.0 million 4.75% 2030 and $747.5 million 0.25% 2031 convertible notes, fully funding planned capital spending through 2028.

Insights
Proxy outlines solid 2025 growth, leverage reshaping, and concentrated voting control.
Solaris Energy Infrastructure combines a routine proxy with meaningful business context. 2025 revenue reached $622.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA $244.2 million, supported by power-generation growth and steady logistics cash flows, especially into data-center and other distributed power markets.
The company closed the MER Acquisition for equity valued at about $323.1 million and issued $747.5 million of 0.25% 2031 convertible notes plus $155.0 million of 4.75% 2030 notes, retiring term loans and funding capex through 2028. Governance-wise, Class B holders and insiders control a large combined voting block, and pay remains heavily performance- and equity-based, with TSR-linked awards and strong say‑on‑pay support (~99% in 2025).

(1) | The Company’s Non-Equity Incentive Plan does not have threshold or maximum limits. The actual value of bonuses paid to our NEOs for 2025 under this program can be found in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above. |
(2) | Amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards of RSAs and PSUs granted under the LTIP in March 2025 to our named executive officers, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, disregarding estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of PSUs is based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the date of grant on March 1, 2025, as determined under ASC Topic 718. The Company’s closing stock price on March 1, 2025 was $34.15. For more information regarding the assumptions underlying the valuation of these equity awards, please see footnote (3) to the Summary Compensation Table above. |

(4) | On March 1, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved that the PSUs that were granted in 2023 and 2024 and that vested on March 1, 2025 to be paid out in cash. This was considered a modification since the awards were being accounted for as equity rather than a liability. The modification date is reflected in this “Grant Date” column. The incremental expense recognized for these awards is in the “Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards” column. |

(1) | Pursuant to the CIC Plan, NEOs are only eligible for severance benefits if the NEO experiences a termination of employment in connection with a change in control. |
(2) | Pursuant to the A&R CIC Plan, the cash severance for each NEO would instead be equal to a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the NEO’s applicable multiplier multiplied by the sum of (A) the NEO’s base pay, (B) the greater of (1) the NEO’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs or (2) the NEO’s actual bonus for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs, and (C) an amount equal to the grant date fair value (determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of all equity awards granted to the NEO during the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs (or, if such equity awards have not yet been granted, the grant date fair value of all equity awards granted to the Participant during the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs). As such, the amount disclosable for each NEO under the A&R CIC Plan for “Cash Severance” would be as follows: $37,500,054 for Mr. Zartler, $23,010,000 for Ms. Brock, $10,278,923 for Mr. Ramachandran, $6,010,050 for Ms. Durrett, $5,390,460 for Mr. Powell and $1,725,300 for Mr. Wirtz. |
(3) | Pursuant to A&R CIC Plan, the equity acceleration would instead be equal to the full vesting of all of the NEO’s outstanding unvested restricted stock awards (and any other outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards) settled in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement governing such awards; provided that, with respect to any performance-based awards, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved, without proration, at the greater of (A) 100% of target or (B) 200% if actual performance exceeds target as of the Closing. As of December 31, 2025, with respect to performance-based awards, actual performance was equal to 200%. As such, the amount disclosable for each NEO under the A&R CIC Plan for “Equity Acceleration” would be the same as disclosed in the table for the CIC Plan (which is based on actual performance, or 200% as of December 31, 2025). |
