TrackBacks (0) Comments (0)

The financial regulatory reform act passed the House of Representatives on June 30, 2010, and is expected to be voted on by the Senate shortly. The act contains a number of new requirements that will significantly modify corporate governance and disclosure practices relating to executive compensation.  Many of the changes to existing law have been detailed over at McGuire Woods.  The changes of note include:

  • Disclosure of Company's Leadership Structure 

  • Broker Voting Restrictions and Disclosure by Institutional Investment Managers of Voting Actions 

  • Special Compensation Restrictions for Financial Institution

  • Disclosure of Hedging Arrangements 

  • Clawback Policies Required 
  • New Compensation Disclosures in Proxy Statements (Pay vs. Performance and Internal Pay Equity)
