How will the SEC’s shift on shareholder proposals affect the proxy season? 21:36

23 days ago21:36

21:36

Many governance experts involved in the shareholder proposal process are asking questions following the release of new SEC guidance that essentially reverses a Biden-era staff legal bulletin (SLB) on the parameters and reasoning by which companies may seek the go-ahead to exclude resolutions from their proxy statements. Overall, the division of corporation finance’s move will likely lead to fewer ESG-related proposals making their way to a vote at AGMs, posing questions about what happens this year and how proponents will respond in the future. Many experts are waiting to see what happens in the short term given that the guidance arrived at a time when many companies have already received a 14a-8 verdict for their 2025 AGM under the old guidance while others are awaiting a response from the SEC under the newly issued SLB. Others could still file no-action requests. In the latest episode of our Governance Matters podcast, we hear from Beth Sasfai, partner in Cooley’s public companies group and leader of the law firm’s ESG and sustainability advisory practice. Among other things, Sasfai is an expert adviser to companies on shareholder proposals. She shares her thoughts on the potential impact of the new guidance for companies and proponents this proxy season and beyond. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Perks of the job: Be wary of how you disclose them in 2025 22:15

Executive compensation has been a focus for the SEC in recent years, with new rules in areas such as clawbacks and insider trading. The agency has also turned its enforcement eye to companies’ disclosures around executive perquisites, or perks. Our guest for this month’s episode of the Governance Matters podcast is Neil McCarthy, co-founder and chief product officer of DragonGC. He says there has been a particular enforcement focus on executives’ use of aircraft. He also explains that there is a growing focus among companies on how to report – or not report – on personal security expenses for executives, a concern sparked in part by the murder last year of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Getting your director training right 18:19

Director training and education is one of the keys to ensuring boards can fulfill their duties while adapting to changing circumstances affecting the company. Corporate secretaries and other governance professionals play the central role in planning for necessary information to be passed to the board, either from themselves or through in-house or external advisers. There’s no one-size-fits all approach but there are important lessons to help the board succeed and avoid potential problems. An effective director training program helps create a foundation for a high-functioning board that can oversee risk and strategy effectively while understanding the needs and interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. An unsuccessful program can have the reverse effect. ‘If a director speaks to an institutional investor and [he or she is] not prepared it can have implications for the organization,’ says Joan Conley, board member at EJF Acquisition Corp and Tigo Energy and former corporate secretary of Nasdaq, in Governance Intelligence’s recent Governance Playbook on the topic, which contains advice from a range of experts. One of those experts is Angela Grant, chief legal officer and corporate secretary at Palomar Holdings, who in the latest episode of the Governance Matters podcast discusses how director training works at her company, how to identify the kind of topics directors might need more information on and bringing in outside experts, among other things. The Governance Matters podcast provides listeners with insight into cutting-edge issues of the day for corporate secretaries, general counsel and other governance professionals. The series looks at how the roles of governance professionals and the board – as well as the landscape in which they operate – are evolving. From ESG and entity management to shareholder engagement, regulation and technology, hear from governance experts and leading advisers about the latest public company governance matters.
