Our Updated “Proxy Season” Practice Area

As we do every year, we have updated our “Proxy Season” Practice Area – including posting these memos & checklists that raise considerations for this proxy season.

By the way, Alan Dye has updated his popular “Section 16 year-end compliance checklist” on Section16.net.

Hearing from a Say-on-Pay Proponent

Recently, Cisco shareholders narrowly supported a say-on-pay proposal by a majority. In this CompensationStandards.com podcast, Julie Tanner of Christian Brothers Investment Services discusses the recent Cisco vote on say-on-pay and other CBIS activities, including:

– What were the results of your say-on-pay proposal on Cisco’s ballot? How did that compare to last year?
– How does Christian Brothers select which companies to which it will submit shareholder proposals?
– What types of proposals has Christian Brothers submitted for the 2010 proxy season?
– Does Christian Brothers engage with companies before – or after – it submits shareholder proposals?
