Executive Summary
eGain Corporation filed its definitive proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting, proposing the election of four incumbent directors, a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, a vote on the frequency of say-on-pay (recommending every year), and ratification of BPM LLP as auditor. The filing is routine with no contested items, shareholder proposals, or governance changes. CEO Ashutosh Roy received total compensation of $303,336 for fiscal 2026, down from $471,835 in fiscal 2025, reflecting lower equity award recognition. Net income fell sharply to $8.9 million from $32.3 million in the prior year, while TSR remained flat at ~$54.88 per $100 invested over five years.
