Speaking of SEC All-Stars, we recently posted the transcript for our “Proxy Season Post-Mortem: The Latest Compensation Disclosures 2026” webcast on CompensationStandards.com, during which I was joined by Compensia’s Mark Borges and Gibson Dunn’s Ron Mueller to discuss the “lessons learned” from the 2026 proxy season that companies can start carrying forward into the next proxy season. Among the topics that we discussed were:

– Today’s Incentive Compensation Challenges
– The State of Say-on-Pay During the 2026 Season
– Experience with Proxy Advisors’ New Pay-for-Performance Analyses
– Shareholder Engagement Challenges & Responsiveness Disclosures in 2026 Proxy Statements
