We have posted the transcript for our recent CompensationStandards.com webcast, “Proxy Season Post-Mortem: The Latest Compensation Disclosures,” during which I was joined by Mark Borges, Principal, Compensia and Editor, CompensationStandards.com and Ron Mueller, Partner, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, for a discussion focusing on the “lessons learned” that companies can start carrying forward into next proxy season. The webcast covered the following topics:

– The State of Say-on-Pay During the 2024 Proxy Season
– Highlights and Tips from this Year’s CD&As
– Best Practices for Disclosing Incentive Compensation Adjustments and Outcomes
– Trends in Disclosure Regarding Operational and Strategic Metrics
– Pay-versus-Performance: SEC Staff Guidance Issues and Year 2 Enhancements
– Compensation Clawback Policies – Multiple Policies/Potential Disclosure Issues
– Proxy Advisory Firms – Is Their Influence Starting to Wane?
– Perquisites Disclosure and Recent Enforcement Focus
– Shareholder Proposals – Company Strategies; No-Action Trends; Activists and Universal Proxies
– Rule 10b5-1 Plan Disclosure Developments
– Pending SEC Rulemaking

It is always great to be on a webcast with rock stars like Mark and Ron. As I said during the webcast, getting together for this annual webcast always feels like when the Rolling Stones get together for their latest tour! If you do not have access to all of the great resources on CompensationStandards.com, I encourage you to sign up today.
