Glass Lewis’s New “Equity Compensation Model”

Liz Dunshee

I’ve blogged a couple times about Glass Lewis’s new (to the US) partnership with CGLytics for pay data & analysis – and we’re gradually getting more specifics about what that’ll look like. Recently, the proxy advisor announced that it’ll use a new “Equity Compensation Model” to reach voting recommendations for existing & new equity plans.

According to this data sheet, the model tests plans against 11 proprietary criteria. Glass Lewis highlights plan concerns in its reports to investor clients. Companies and others can also use ECM as a stand-alone service to test, review and adjust inputs on plans…for a fee.
