The holidays are around the corner. So, too, is proxy season. Although it may seem like you just filed your 2019 proxy, the 2020 proxy season is upon us. This quick reference guide, which is intended to supplement Shearman & Sterling’s 17th Annual Corporate Governance & Compensation Survey, identifies the things you should be thinking about as you prepare your 2020 proxy statement and plan for your annual meeting. In developing this list, we looked at themes from the 2019 proxy season and trends we see developing for 2020, and we offer recommendations and resources for the upcoming proxy season. We also identify possible future changes in disclosure rules that public companies will want to keep on their radar as proxy season preparations begin.
