Executive Compensation Philosophy
Executive Compensation Philosophy The Company’s executive compensation program is guided by the following principles, which make up our executive compensation philosophy: Pay for Performance. Compensation opportunities are designed to align executives’ pay with the Company’s performance, measure the impact of performance against individual objectives and focus on producing sustainable long-term growth. Attract, Promote and Retain Talented Management Team. We compete for talent with other companies both smaller and larger, and both in our market and in other industries. To attract and retain executives with the experience necessary to achieve our business goals, compensation must be competitive and appropriately balanced between fixed compensation and at-risk compensation. Align Management’s Interests with Interests of Stockholders. We believe that management should have a significant financial stake in the Company to align their interests with those of the stockholders and to encourage the creation of long-term value. Therefore, equity awards make up a substantial component of executive compensation. To reflect these principles, our executive compensation program has three key elements: base salary, annual cash incentive compensation and long-term equity compensation. We have aimed to ensure that the base salary and target annual incentive levels of each NEO are competitive to retain and appropriately reward our NEOs for their ongoing service and achievements, and the focus we place on equity compensation aligns the interests of management with those of our shareholders and promotes focus on long-term success. We also provide limited perquisites and retirement benefits to our NEOs.
Role of Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain, compensate, and terminate an independent compensation consultant and any other advisors necessary to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation. The Board of Directors retained Pearl Meyer, a compensation consulting firm, as its independent external advisor to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation, and to provide insight and market perspective on our current compensation programs. In selecting Pearl Meyer, the Board of Directors reviewed their independence, including the factors prescribed by the SEC and NYSE, and concluded that there were no conflicts of interest that would preclude them from serving as an independent advisor to the Board. Pearl Meyer does not provide other services to us, except at the direction of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. We do not have any other relationships with Pearl Meyer.
Role of External Market Data
Role of External Market Data The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in determining target total compensation for each of the Company’s executive officers (including our NEOs). These factors include, but are not limited to, position-specific market data, the executive’s experience and performance, and internal pay equity. While the Compensation Committee strives to generally target executive compensation at the median of the Company’s competitive market (including both selected peer companies and the broader competitive market) in the aggregate, it also applies discretion based upon its review of the factors noted above to make individual compensation decisions for the Company’s executive officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee may target above-median market compensation for specific individuals for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
Role of External Market Data
| • | specific organizational considerations, for example, because the role is considered critical to delivering on our overall business strategy; |
Role of External Market Data
| • | the need for specific expertise in building new or improving upon existing business functions, particularly in the process of hiring candidates from external sources; and |
Role of External Market Data
| • | the retention of key executives the Company believes are critical to its success. |
Role of External Market Data
Similarly, the Compensation Committee may target below-median compensation if individuals are new in their roles or are performing a role that is narrower than what is typical in the market.
Role of External Market Data
| | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 27 |
Peer Group Development
Peer Group Development The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Pearl Meyer, has developed a peer group for use in making compensation decisions. While the Compensation Committee considers the executive compensation data at peer group companies, it is not the sole factor in the decision-making process. The Compensation Committee also considers general industry data from third-party providers in its review of compensation for our executive officers (including our NEOs). Neither the Compensation Committee nor management has any input into the companies included in these general industry surveys. The table below highlights how the companies included in the peer group were chosen, and how the compensation information related to these companies is used.
Peer Group Development
| How Peer Group Companies are Selected | How Peer Group Data is Utilized | | • Similar or related industry sector • Generally focused on business models that generate subscription-based recurring revenue • Provide a technology-enabled service • Primarily business-to-consumer (B2C) focused, although companies that are business-to-business (B2B) focused are also considered • Generally between $2 billion and $10 billion in revenue | • As an input in determining base salaries, annual incentive targets and long-term incentive award targets • As an input in the design of compensation plans • To validate whether our executive compensation program is aligned with Company performance • To inform on market practice regarding the form and mix of equity awards granted to our employees |
Peer Group Development
The Compensation Committee assesses the peer group periodically to determine whether any significant changes to the business conditions of the Company or any of its peers would warrant any changes to the peer group. In October 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the 2024 peer group with no changes from the previous year. The peer group consists of technology focused companies with high prevalence across all key business model criteria.

Annual Incentive Compensation
Annual Incentive Compensation The second component of executive officer compensation is an annual cash incentive based on the Company’s performance. Tying a portion of total compensation to annual Company performance permits us to adjust the performance metrics each year to reflect changing objectives and to emphasize those that may be of special importance for a particular year. Through the annual incentive program, we seek to provide an appropriate amount of short-term cash compensation that is at-risk and tied to the achievement of certain short-term performance goals. For 2023, the target bonus opportunities for our NEOs were as follows:
Annual Incentive Compensation
| Name | Target Bonus % of Base Salary | | James D. DeVries | 150% | | Jeffrey A. Likosar | 100% | | David W. Smail | 70% | | Wayne D. Thorsen | 100% | | Donald M. Young | 100% | | Daniel M. Bresingham | 100% | | Kenneth J. Porpora | 100% | | Harriet K. Harty | 70% |
Annual Incentive Compensation
For the 2023 fiscal year, the annual incentive plan (the “2023 AIP”) was approved with a design that reflects the Company’s focus as a primarily subscriber-based business with significant RMR. The metrics utilized in the 2023 AIP were selected to drive results in those categories that we believed would have the most significant impact on the success of our subscriber-based business. The metrics utilized for the 2023 fiscal year, as well as the respective weightings for each metric, are set forth in the table below. In order to achieve any payout on a metric, a threshold performance level was required to be met, which would result in a 50% payout for that metric. Bonus payouts were also subject to a maximum of 200% of target; performance above maximum would not result in any additional payout. In addition, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to adjust the payout levels under the AIP, including to reflect the Company’s performance more broadly or an executive’s individual performance.
Annual Incentive Compensation
| Performance Metric | Weighting | Target(1) | Actual Performance | Performance as a % of Target | Weighted Business Performance | | Adjusted EBITDA ($ Millions)(2) | 50% | $2,414 | $2,365 | 98.0% | 35% | | Ending Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) ($ Millions)(3) | 50% | $352.0 | $353.1 | 100.3% | 54% | | TOTAL | | | | | 89% |
Annual Incentive Compensation
| (1) Targets were adjusted as a result the disposition of several businesses, the largest of which was our commercial business. The Committee determined that an adjustment to Annual Incentive Plan targets was warranted, which is reflected in the table above. This adjustment, which was necessary to compare actual performance to the target on a consistent basis, resulted in the Adjusted EBITDA target for 2023 being lower than the corresponding target and actual performance for 2022. |
Annual Incentive Compensation
| (2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. See below for definition of this non-GAAP metric. |
Annual Incentive Compensation
| (3) Ending RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our CSB customers, including contracts monitored but not owned. |
Annual Incentive Compensation
The Company’s performance against the metrics presented above, including the weighted business performance result of 89% was used to fund the overall award pool.

The actual bonus payment is based on the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance goals for the year as agreed in connection with her separation of service. |
Long-Term Equity Compensation
Long-Term Equity Compensation The Company’s long-term incentive compensation program is designed to provide a significant portion of our executives’ compensation opportunity in equity-based instruments. We believe that long-term equity compensation is important to ensure that the interests of our executives are aligned with those of our stockholders, thus promoting value-creation for our executives and our stockholders. The annual equity award grant process occurs in conjunction with our annual assessment of individual performance and potential and takes into account the competitive compensation landscape. In addition to annual grants, the Company may make equity grants in certain other circumstances, such as for new hires or promotions, or to recognize an individual’s extraordinary contributions to the Company. Our Board of Directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, our 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which we are permitted to grant awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards as permitted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is designed to align the interests of our management team with our stockholders.

Target 2023 long-term incentive opportunities and the number of RSUs awarded to our NEOs are set forth in the table below:
2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan Equity Awards
| Name | Aggregate Value of 2023 LTI Award | RSUs Awarded (#) | | James D. DeVries | $5,977,125 | 786,463 | | Jeffrey A. Likosar | $1,150,000 | 151,315 | | David W.

2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan Equity Awards
In 2023, we also granted a one-time sign-on award to Mr. Thorsen in connection with his hiring. The sign-on award was in the form of RSUs, which were granted on February 1, 2023 with a grant date value of $3,000,000 (341,296 RSUs), and which will vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date.
2023 Decisions Related to Equity Awards in connection with the Divestiture of ADT Commercial
2023 Decisions Related to Equity Awards in connection with the Divestiture of ADT Commercial In connection with the divestiture of our commercial business (“ADT Commercial”), the Board approved certain modifications to equity awards held by employees of ADT Commercial, including Mr. Bresingham. These modifications were made to provide for consistency of treatment between employees in the divestiture and to ensure employees of ADT Commercial were retained and properly incentivized to ensure a successful closing of the divestiture. As a result of these modifications to Mr. Bresingham’s awards: (i) his service with the buyer of ADT Commercial will count as if it was service with the Company for purposes of determining Mr. Bresingham’s ability to exercise his outstanding stock options; (ii) his Distributed Shares and Top-Up Options (each, as defined below) will remain eligible to vest if the performance hurdle is achieved prior to the award’s regular expiration date (as opposed to remaining outstanding and eligible to vest only for 12 months); and (iii) his RSUs that would have otherwise been forfeited in full vested on a pro-rata basis through the closing of the divestiture. SEC rules require that the incremental value associated with these modifications be reported as compensation to Mr. Bresingham, which is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

Severance Benefits
Severance Benefits Other than Messrs. DeVries, Likosar, Smail and Young, certain of our executive officers, including Mr. Thorsen, may be eligible for certain benefits under either The ADT Inc. Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives (the “Severance Plan”) or The ADT Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Severance Plan”), depending upon the circumstances leading to their termination of service or employment with the Company. In the case of the CIC Severance Plan, a “double trigger” is required (i.e., a change in control, plus a qualifying termination of employment) before benefits become available to the executives covered by that plan. We believe that the benefits available to executives under these plans are equitable in comparison to the broader market. Details with respect to the key provisions of the severance plans currently in effect and the payments and benefits that would be payable under the plans are set forth in the section titled “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Severance for our other NEOs is pursuant to the terms of their respective employment arrangements. Details with respect to the payments and benefits that would be payable under the employment arrangements are set forth in the section titled “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Equity Grant Practices
Equity Grant Practices The Company’s practice is to grant annual equity awards to eligible employees on or after the second trading day after financial and other information about the Company has been widely released through a press release, newswire or periodic report filed with the SEC. This timing ensures that annual equity grants are made at a time when the market has the greatest amount of information concerning the Company’s performance, including its financial condition and results of operations, as is reasonably possible. All other equity grants during the year, which are generally comprised of new hire awards or other one-time grants, are made in conjunction with the Company’s Policy and Procedures for Granting Equity-Based Awards.
Section 280G of the Code
Section 280G of the Code Section 280G of the Code disallows a tax deduction with respect to certain payments to executives of companies that undergo a change in control, and Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% penalty on the individual receiving “excess parachute payments.” Generally, parachute payments are compensation that is linked to or triggered by a change in control and may include, but are not limited to, bonus payments, severance payments, certain fringe benefits, and payments and acceleration of vesting from long-term incentive plans, including stock options and other equity-based compensation. Excess parachute payments are parachute payments that exceed a threshold determined under Section 280G based on the executive’s prior compensation. The employment agreements with Messrs. DeVries, Likosar and Young, each provide that, to the extent the executive would be subject to Section 280G or 4999 of the Code, the executive’s parachute payments would be reduced to the extent that no portion of the payment shall be subject to the excise tax, but only if the executive’s net after-tax benefit would exceed what the net after-tax benefit would have been if such reduction were not made and the executive paid the applicable excise tax. We do not provide excise tax gross-ups to our NEOs.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2023
| (1) The amounts shown in columns (a) and (b) reflect employee and Company contributions, respectively, under the SSRP, the Company’s non-qualified retirement savings plan during fiscal 2023. All of the amounts in columns (a) and (b) are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the column heading “Salary” and “All Other Compensation,” respectively. |
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2023
| (2) The amounts shown in this column include earnings (or losses) on the NEO’s notional account in the SSRP. |
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2023
The SSRP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that operates in conjunction with our RSIP. A participant must designate the portion of the credits to his account that shall be allocated among the various measurement funds. If no such
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2023
| | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 47 |
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2023
designation is made, credits to a participant’s account are allocated to one or more measurement funds as determined by the SSRP’s plan administrator. Participant notional account balances are credited daily with the rate of return earned by the applicable measurement fund. The measurement funds for the SSRP are consistent with those funds available under the Company’s RSIP. For fiscal 2023, (i) Mr. DeVries elected to make pre-tax contributions equal to 5% of his base salary and 5% of his performance bonus, (ii) Mr. Likosar elected to make pre-tax contributions equal to 5% of his base salary and 5% of his performance bonus, (iii) Mr. Young elected to make pre-tax contributions equal to 11% of his base salary and 11% of his performance bonus, (iv) Mr. Smail elected to make pre-tax contributions equal to 5% of his base salary and 5% of his performance bonus, and (v) Ms. Harty elected to make pre-tax contributions equal to 8% of her base salary and 80% of her performance bonus. The Company made matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 5% of eligible pay contributed by each eligible executive. An additional Company contribution was made in 2023 based on the satisfaction of a specific Company performance metric. Under the terms of the SSRP, eligible executives may elect to defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 80% of their performance bonus. A participant is always fully vested in the participant’s own contributions and vests in the Company contributions after completing three years of service from the date of hire, subject to full vesting upon death, disability, retirement (e.g., (i) age 55 and (ii) a combination of age and years of service at separation totaling at least 60), or a change in control. Distributions are made in either a lump sum or in annual installments (up to 15 years) in accordance with a participant’s election. In the event a separation from service is due to a participant’s death or disability a distribution is made in a lump sum within 90 days of such event.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control The following describes the potential severance payments and benefits our NEOs would be entitled to receive if their employment with the Company is terminated under various circumstances. Since Mr. Porpora voluntarily terminated his employment with the Company on December 29, 2023 to become the Chief Executive Officer of a privately-held company, he did not receive any payments or benefits in connection with his termination. Mr. Bresingham’s employment with the Company terminated upon the divestiture of ADT Commercial on October 2, 2023. In connection with such divestiture, all ADT equity awards held by ADT Commercial employees, including those held by Mr. Bresingham, were modified as described above in “2023 Decisions Related to Equity Awards in connection with the Divestiture of ADT Commercial.” Mr. Bresingham did not receive any other payments or benefits in connection with the divestiture. As a result, Messrs. Porpora and Bresingham are generally excluded from the disclosure below.
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE The following information relates to the relationship of the annual total compensation of the individual identified as our median compensated employee and the annual total compensation of Mr. DeVries, our Chairman President and CEO. The measurement date used for the CEO Pay Ratio was December 31, 2023, and as of such date our employee population consisted of 14,287 individuals with all of these individuals located in the United States. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees. To identify the “median employee” from our employee population, we used a “consistently applied compensation measure” that included base salary, bonus, overtime, and commissions, and such compensation was annualized for any individual who was employed less than the full year (other than temporary employees). The annual total compensation for the median employee was based on the same methodology used for calculating the total compensation of the CEO as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, our last completed fiscal year:
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
| • | The annual total compensation of the individual identified as the median compensated employee of the Company (other than our CEO) was $72,539; and |
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
| • | The annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement, was $8,836,807. |
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
As a result, for fiscal year 2023, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. DeVries, our Chairman, President and CEO, to the annual total compensation of the median compensated employee was 122 to 1.
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
| 54 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT | |
PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
The Company’s executive compensation philosophy is to pay for performance by providing compensation opportunities designed to align executives’ pay with the Company’s performance, measure the impact of performance against individual objectives and focus on producing sustainable long-term growth. A key component of our pay for performance strategy is to align management’s interests with interests of our stockholders through equity award grants which make up a substantial component of our executive compensation program. For further information concerning executive compensation for our named executive officers (NEOs), see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” on page 23 of this Proxy Statement and the “Elements of Executive Compensation” on page 29 of this Proxy Statement. 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, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table and executive compensation “actually paid” (as defined in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) and certain measures of our financial performance.
Pay versus Performance Disclosure Table
Pay versus Performance Disclosure Table The following table discloses, for fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, information on compensation “actually paid” to our principal executive officer, who is our CEO, and average compensation “actually paid” to our other non-CEO NEOs, alongside total shareholder return (TSR) and net income metrics, as well as the Company selected most important performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is the most important performance measure in linking compensation actually paid to our NEOs because we use it for evaluating performance of our CEO and other NEOs, it is a predominant metric used in our annual incentive compensation plan and we use it for evaluation of our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of our peer companies which in turn provides useful information to investors about our operating profitability (adjusted for certain items as described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA on pages 32-33). The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to CEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-CEO NEOs” have been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. “Compensation actually paid” includes, among other things, year-over-year changes in the value of unvested equity-based awards. As a result of the calculation methodology required by the SEC, compensation “actually paid” amounts below differ from compensation actually received by the individuals and the compensation decisions described in the “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above.

| (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; and (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 such prior fiscal year. For purposes of the above equity award adjustments, no equity awards were cancelled due to a failure to meet vesting conditions and as such no deduction was included. Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, was determined by reference to (a) for stock options (excluding the Top-Up Options), calculated using the Lattice model (i.e, the Company’s closing stock price and volatility and other market data such as the risk-free rate as of the valuation date), (b) for Top-Up Options, Distributed Shares and RSUs, the same valuation assumptions were used as at the time of grant (i.e., the Company’s closing stock price as of each valuation and measurement date). |

DIRECTORS Compensation for our non-employee directors (other than directors who are affiliated with Apollo, Temasek or State Farm) consists of an annual cash retainer in the amount of $100,000 per year, paid on a quarterly basis in arrears, and an annual equity award of RSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $100,000 and a one-year vesting term. In addition, directors who are chairs of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $25,000, $20,000, and $15,000 per year, respectively, each of which will be paid in substantially equal quarterly installments in arrears. In September 2023 the Compensation Committee approved an additional annual cash retainer in the amount of $25,000 to be provided to the independent director who serves in the position of the Lead Independent Director. New directors who join our Board of Directors between annual meetings of our stockholders will receive a pro rata portion of cash and equity compensation based on the period of time from the date of their appointment to the Board of Directors to the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders.

| (1) This column reflects the fair value of the awards granted to our independent non-employee directors on May 24, 2023, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding estimated forfeitures. The fair value of RSUs is computed by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the award by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock per share on the NYSE on the date of grant. RSUs granted to independent non-employee directors generally vest and the underlying units are converted to shares and delivered to independent non-employee directors on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The value of dividend equivalent units granted in connection with dividends paid on the Company’s Common Stock during fiscal year 2023 are excluded from the “Stock Awards” column. As of December 31, 2023, the total number of RSUs (inclusive of dividend equivalent units) outstanding for each of Mr. Winter, Ms. Griffin and Ms. Zarmi was 16,745, 16,745 and 16,745 respectively. |
