TPG Approves $50M Incentive for Founder Coulter to Align Interests with Stockholders

TPG's Compensation Committee approved a $50M incentive award for founder and chairman James Coulter, to align his efforts with stockholder interests and recognize his leadership in establishing the firm's Impact platform. The award consists of restricted stock units and performance stock units, with specific vesting schedules and performance hurdles to incentivize long-term company growth.

On July 29, 2025, TPG Inc.'s independent Compensation Committee approved a long-term performance incentive award for the company’s Founder and Chairman, James Coulter. The award, valued at $50 million, aims to align Coulter’s efforts with stockholder interests and recognize his leadership in establishing the firm's Impact platform [1].

The incentive package consists of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PRSUs) under TPG’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The RSUs will vest in 25% chunks annually over four years, starting next July, while the performance stock units will vest in five equal annual installments [2]. This structure ensures that Coulter's compensation is tied to the company's long-term performance and growth.

Coulter, a founding partner, has been a TPG board member since its inception in 1992. The billionaire's leadership and strategic vision have been crucial in establishing TPG as a prominent player in the private equity and impact investing sectors.
