Say-on-Frequency: Many Companies Will Hold Second Vote in ’17

Broc Romanek

Can you believe it has been six years! Most companies were first required to conduct a say-on-frequency vote seven years ago – in 2011. These companies will need to place that item back on their ballot next year.

Back then, the annual option received the most support – at 80% of companies. The triennial option was supported at 19% and the biennial option at 1%. As a result, over 70% of Russell 3000 companies elected to conduct say-on-pay votes annually.

Our Executive Pay Conferences: 10% Reduced Rate: Say-on-frequency will be among the topics for our pair of popular conferences – “Tackling Your 2017 Compensation Disclosures: Proxy Disclosure Conference” & “Say-on-Pay Workshop: 13th Annual Executive Compensation Conference” – to be held October 24-25th in Houston and via Live Nationwide Video Webcast. Here are the agendas – 20 panels over two days.

Discounted Rates – Act by September 9th: Huge changes are afoot for executive compensation practices with pay ratio disclosures on the horizon. We are doing our part to help you address all these changes – and avoid costly pitfalls – by offering a reduced rate to help you attend these critical conferences (both of the Conferences are bundled together with a single price). So register by September 9th to take advantage of the 10% discount.
