Posted: SEC’s Executive Compensation/Corporate Governance Proposing Release
– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
On Friday, the SEC posted a 137-page proposing release regarding changes in its executive compensation rules and other corporate governance enhancements. In his “Proxy Disclosure Blog,” Mark Borges already has blogged some analysis of the compensation proposals. Join Mark and others as they discuss the SEC’s proposals – as well as Treasury’s recent actions – in this Tuesday, July 21st webcast: “New Treasury Regulations and the American Recovery Act: Executive Compensation Restrictions.”
While we were tickled to see our March-April issue of The Corporate Counsel cited in footnote 44 of the release, we were even more excited that the SEC is soliciting comments on a number of important areas of the executive compensation rules, such as whether boards consider internal pay equity when they set the amounts of executive compensation. Here is a discussion of this fix – and others – that we urge you to consider when drafting your comment letters for the SEC on the executive compensation proposals.
