Summary

Martin Marietta filled its CFO role through internal promotion, naming Michael J. Petro as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. The company structured Petro's compensation to balance current pay with long-term retention: a $750,000 base salary, target annual bonus equal to 100% of base, and target long-term incentive of 260% of base ($1.95 million).

The package includes a one-time $5 million restricted stock unit grant that vests in three equal installments on the sixth, seventh, and eighth anniversaries—an unusually long vesting schedule designed to lock in the new CFO through 2034. The employment and severance terms are standard for executive officers at this level.

If terminated without cause or if Petro resigns for good reason, he receives $750,000, (three times base plus target bonus), three years of medical and dental benefits, and continued vesting of outstanding equity. A separate change-of-control agreement provides similar protection if a qualifying termination follows an acquisition. The internal promotion suggests continuity in financial leadership and avoids the disruption of an external search.
