Q: | Who can vote? |
A: | You can vote if you were a shareholder at the close of business on the record date of March 23, 2022 (the “Record Date”). There were a total of 27,488,413 shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”), notice of annual meeting, this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021 were first mailed or made available to you beginning on or about April 5, 2022. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to vote at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Who can attend the Annual Meeting? |
A: | This year, the 2022 Annual Meeting will once again be conducted exclusively virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRLB2022 (the “Annual Meeting Website”). All shareholders, regardless of size, resources or physical location, eligible to attend the Annual Meeting will be able to participate via webcast and will be able to communicate with us and ask questions before and during the Annual Meeting. All shareholders as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, then you must request a legal proxy from your broker or nominee to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | What am I voting on? |
A: | You are voting on: |
• | Election of eight nominees as directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected. |
• | Ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022. |
• | Approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our officers disclosed in this Proxy Statement, which we refer to as a “say-on-pay” vote. |
Q: | How does the board of directors recommend I vote on the proposals? |
A: | The board is soliciting your proxy and recommends you vote: |
• | FOR each of the director nominees; |
• | FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022; and |
• | FOR the say-on-pay proposal. |
Q: | Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials? |
A: | “Notice and Access” rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)permit us to furnish proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice instructs as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. |
Q: | How many shares must be voted to approve each proposal? |
A: | Quorum. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 27,488,413 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. A majority of those shares will constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors and adopting proposals at the Annual Meeting. If you submit a valid proxy or attend the Annual Meeting, your shares will be counted to determine whether there is a quorum. |
Q: | What is the effect of broker non-votes and abstentions? |
A: | A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have or does not exercise discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy indicating a lack of authority to vote on a proposal, then the shares covered by such a “non-vote” proxy will be deemed present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but not present for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to any non-discretionary proposals. Nominees will not have discretionary voting power with respect to any matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, other than the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors, approval of the advisory say-on-pay resolution, or any other item properly presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. |
Q: | How will the proxies vote on any other business brought up at the Annual Meeting? |
A: | By submitting your proxy, you authorize the proxies to use their judgment to determine how to vote on any other matter brought before the Annual Meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof. We do not know of any other business to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The proxies’ authority to vote according to their judgment applies only to shares you own as the shareholder of record. |
Q: | How do I cast my vote? |
A: | If you are a shareholder whose shares are registered in your name, you may vote using any of the following methods: |
• | Internet. You may vote by going to the web address www.proxyvote.com 24-hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 17, 2022 and following the instructions for Internet voting shown on your proxy card. |
• | Telephone. If you requested printed proxy materials and you received a paper copy of the proxy card, you may vote by dialing 1-800-690-6903 24-hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 17, 2022 and following the instructions for telephone voting shown on your proxy card. |
• | Mail. If you requested printed proxy materials and you receive a paper copy of the proxy card, then you may vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. If you vote by Internet or telephone, please do not mail your proxy card. |
• | Virtually at the Annual Meeting Website. If you are a shareholder whose shares are registered in your name, you may vote virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRLB2022. |
Q: | Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice? |
A: | No. The Notice identifies the items to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the Notice and returning it. The Notice provides instructions on how to vote by Internet, by requesting and returning a paper proxy card or voting instruction card, or by voting at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Can I revoke or change my vote? |
A: | You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by: |
• | submitting a new proxy with a more recent date than that of the first proxy given before 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 17, 2022 by (1) following the Internet voting instructions or (2) following the telephone voting instructions; |
• | completing, signing, dating and returning a new proxy card to us, which must be received by us before the time of the Annual Meeting; or |
• | participating in the virtual Annual Meeting and revoking the proxy by voting those shares when joining the meeting. |
Q: | Who will count the votes? |
A: | Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our independent proxy tabulator, will count the votes. Daniel Schumacher, our Interim Chief Financial Officer, will act as inspector of election for the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | Is my vote confidential? |
A: | All proxies and all vote tabulations that identify an individual shareholder are confidential. Your vote will not be disclosed except: |
• | To allow Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to tabulate the vote; |
• | To allow Daniel Schumacher to certify the results of the vote; and |
• | To meet applicable legal requirements. |
Q: | What shares are included on my proxy? |
A: | Your proxy will represent all shares registered to your account in the same social security number and address. |
Q: | What happens if I don’t vote shares that I own? |
A: | For shares registered in your name. If you do not vote shares that are registered in your name by voting online at the Annual Meeting or by proxy through the Internet, telephone or mail, your shares will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum or in determining the outcome of the vote on the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. |
Q: | What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted? |
A: | If you are a registered shareholder and submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by Internet or telephone but do not specify how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, we will vote your shares as follows: |
• | FOR each of the director nominees; |
• | FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022; and |
• | FOR the say-on-pay proposal. |
Q: | What does it mean if I get more than one Notice or proxy card? |
A: | Your shares are probably registered in more than one account. You should provide voting instructions for all Notices and proxy cards you receive. |
Q: | How many votes can I cast? |
A: | You are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. There is no cumulative voting. |
Q: | When are shareholder proposals and nominees due for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders? |
A: | If you want to submit a shareholder proposal or nominee for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you must submit the proposal in writing to our Secretary, Proto Labs, Inc., 5540 Pioneer Creek Drive, Maple Plain, Minnesota 55359, so it is received by the relevant dates set forth below under “Submission of Shareholder Proposals and Nominations.” |
Q: | What is “householding”? |
A: | We may send a single Notice, as well as other shareholder communications, to any household at which two or more shareholders reside unless we receive other instruction from you. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and printing and postage costs, and conserve natural resources. If your Notice is being householded and you wish to receive multiple copies of the Notice, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive a single copy, or if you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings, you may contact: |
Q: | How is this proxy solicitation being conducted? |
A: | We will pay for the cost of soliciting proxies and we will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our shareholders. In addition, some of our employees may solicit proxies. We may solicit proxies in person, via the Internet, by telephone and by mail. Our employees will not receive special compensation for these services, which the employees will perform as part of their regular duties. |

(1) | In accordance with the terms of our equity grant timing policy, the RSUs, PSUs and stock option grants to our named executive officers identified in the table were granted effective as of the end of the second trading day following the public release of our financial results for the fourth quarter of 2020, even though the compensation committee approved the grants on an earlier date. Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Kenison received grants prior to being named executive officers. Mr. Schumacher received an additional off-cycle grant in connection with his new role. |
(2) | As discussed above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Executive Compensation,” amounts in this column represent an award of PSUs under the LTIP capable of being earned and vesting at the end of a three-year performance period depending on our Company’s three-year cumulative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the award recipient’s continued employment. The PSU vesting terms in the event of certain terminations of employment or a change in control of our Company are described above in “Elements of Executive Compensation—Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation.” No dividend equivalents are paid on the PSUs. |
(3) | Amounts in this column represent awards of RSUs under the LTIP which vest as to 25% of the shares in four annual installments beginning on either February 13, 2022 or May 20, 2022 depending on the grant date. Mr. Schumacher’s December 1, 2021 grant vests as to 100% of the shares on December 1, 2022. Unvested RSUs will immediately vest in full upon the named executive officer’s death or disability and if, within one year of a change in control, the named executive officer’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason. No dividend equivalents are paid on the RSUs. |
(4) | Amounts in this column represent awards of stock options under the LTIP which vest as to 25% of the shares in four annual installments beginning on February 13, 2022 or May 20, 2022 depending on the grant date. Unvested options will immediately become vested and exercisable in full upon the named executive officer’s death or disability and if, within one year of a change in control, the named executive officer’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason. |
(5) | The actual value to be realized by a named executive officer depends upon the appreciation in value of our stock and the length of time the award is held. No value will be realized with respect to any stock option award if our stock price does not increase following the grant date. For a description of the assumptions used in computing grant date fair value for stock option awards pursuant to ASC 718, see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The grant date fair value of each RSU award and PSU award (at target) was computed in accordance with ASC 718. |

(1) | The LTIP provides that, in connection with a change in control, we may, among other actions, (i) arrange for the surviving or successor entity to continue, assume or replace outstanding awards under the LTIP, (ii) accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding awards upon the occurrence of the change in control or (iii) cancel outstanding awards in exchange for payment of the amount of consideration that would have been received in the change in control for the number of shares subject to the award, less the aggregate exercise price (if any) of the award. The amounts shown assume acceleration of all outstanding awards under the LTIP in connection with a change in control. |
(2) | Pursuant to agreements between us and each of our named executive officers each such named executive officer is entitled to the payments and benefits summarized above if his or her employment terminates within 90 days prior to a change in control, and if the termination is without cause or for good reason and the executive reasonably demonstrates within 30 days after the change in control that the qualifying termination arose in connection with or in anticipation of the change in control. |
(3) | Upon termination of the executive officer’s employment by us without cause or by the executive for good reason or due to retirement or disability, a pro rata portion (based on the portion of the performance period that elapsed prior to the date of termination) of the number of PSUs that would have been earned at the end of the applicable performance periods if employment had continued will vest on the scheduled vesting date. Because the PSU awards are not accelerated under such circumstances, and because the determination regarding the number of outstanding PSUs to be earned cannot be made until after the applicable performance periods end on December 31, 2022 and 2023, no accelerated values for outstanding PSU awards are included in the table columns relating to retirement, disability and without cause and good reason terminations. |
