The Pay & Proxy Podcast: Status of the SEC’s Executive Compensation Disclosure Reform Efforts

In the latest episode of “The Pay & Proxy Podcast,” I was joined by Cleary partner, Julia Petty. We discussed:

  1. What we know about the status of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure reform efforts
  2. Highlights from the letters submitted in response to the SEC’s request for public comment
  3. The SEC’s suspected areas of focus in any anticipated rule proposal
  4. How the SEC’s May 2026 “Filer Status” proposal will impact executive compensation disclosures and Say-on-Pay
  5. Potential complications for equity practices for companies that take advantage of semiannual reporting, if the SEC’s “Semiannual Reporting” rulemaking is finalized as proposed

If you have insights on compensation and proxy disclosures you’d like to share in a podcast, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at mervine@ccrcorp.com.
