One non-regulatory proxy statement-related development of note is the SEC’s new position on responses to proxy statement comments. The position was articulated by Shelley Parratt, the SEC’s Deputy Director, Division of Corporation Finance at a November 2009 conference.
One goal of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent rule proposal on Proxy Disclosure and Solicitation Enhancements is to encourage public company boards of directors and compensation committees to evaluate how the company’s risk management and oversight functions relate to executive compensation decisions and processes. What questions should your Company's compensation committees be asking?
The SEC continues to examine potential new rules which may apply to 2010 proxy season. These include, among others, enhanced compensation disclosure and analysis (CD&A) requirements and enhanced disclosure regarding director qualifications.
