Director Compensation: Citrix Settles Lawsuit

Broc Romanek

Here’s news from this note by Paul Hastings’ Mark Poerio:

Law360 reports that a Delaware Chancery Judge approved the settlement of shareholder derivative litigation under which Citrix agreed to limit annual stock awards to directors to $795,000 (roughly two times the highest past levels), to submit that limit to a shareholder vote next year, to make enhanced proxy statement disclosures about the determination of director compensation, and to use an independent consultant to assist with peer data and the annual determination of proper cash and equity-based compensation.
