Say-on-Pay: Five Steps to Maximize Your Shareholder Engagement Efforts
– Broc Romanek, CompensationStandards.com
I just posted the Winter 2011 issue of our Compensation Standards newsletter that contains practical guidance, which supplements what I wrote in our “Say-on-Pay Solicitation Playbook” this past summer. The Winter issue covers these topics:
– Say-on-Pay: Five Steps to Maximize Your Shareholder Engagement Efforts
– Say-on-Pay Preparation: Six Other Actions to Consider
– Say-on-Pay Frequency: What Recommendation Should Management Make?
– Say-on-Pay Frequency: Does Management Need to Make a Recommendation?
– Say-on-Pay Frequency: Keep Tabs on How It Works in Practice
– A Future Regulatory Fix? Acquiring Executives Not Subject to Golden Parachute Vote
Poll: Say-When-on-Pay Recommendations
In his “Proxy Disclosure Blog,” Mark Borges gives us the latest say-when-on-pay stats – with 71 companies filing so far, 55% recommend a triennial vote; 24% recommend a biennial; 11% recommend an annual and 10% make no recommendation.
Despite this early indication that triennial will be the most popular recommendation, there are those that think that annual will come out on top by the end of the day (including me for the reasons that I set forth in the Winter 2011 issue of the Compensation Standards newsletter).
