Say-on-Pay: Record Support During ’17

Broc Romanek

Here’s the teaser for this Semler Brossy report about say-on-pay during 2017:

2,357 Russell 3000 companies held say-on-pay votes in 2017 and the average say-on-pay support in 2017 (91.7%) was the highest observed rate since voting began.

35 companies (1.5%) failed say-on-pay in 2017, resulting in the lowest failure rate since the first year of say-on-pay in 2011. The four new companies that have failed since our last report are Bofl Holding, Oracle, United Natural Foods, and Western Digital.
