The Pay & Proxy Podcast: Navigating Compensation Challenges During Uncertain Times
Check out the latest 21-minute episode of “The Pay & Proxy Podcast” – Meredith interviewed Cooley’s
Michael Bergmann and Ali Murata about navigating compensation challenges during uncertain times. This certainly has been a timely topic this year in light of geopolitical issues and more. They covered:
– Why 2025 program design and target setting generally did not factor in tariff impacts
– How companies are using their equity programs and managing dilution in 2025
– 409A traps for the unwary
– Considerations for 2025 payouts, particularly when discretionary adjustments are being considered
– “Options” for dealing with underwater options
