Pay-for-Performance Rule: What to Ask at Fall Board Meetings
By Agenda | Sep 16, 2022 | Read more
Partner Dan Laddin was quoted in an Agenda article that discussed the SEC’s new Pay-for-Performance Rule that you can read more about here. In the article Dan goes into detail about the company-selected measure (CSM). He explains that for this measure companies should consider using whichever metric is the most heavily weighted in their annual incentive plan. These tend to be metrics tied to profitability such as EBITDA, adjusted net income, or adjusted earnings per share. Companies should then use the narrative section to discuss how pay tracks with the CSM performance, and why pay may or may not track as well with GAAP net income. Dan goes on to explain that firms typically do not use GAAP net income to make compensation decisions. It can make it appear that the CEO is being paid for underperformance.
