1. Board Skills Matrix<\/h2>

The board skills matrix, which presents the qualifications and experience of each individual director, is key to demonstrating that the proposed slate of nominees has the expertise needed to guide the company\u2019s long-term strategy and create shareholder value. The initial iteration of the matrix included a list of\u00a0<\/span>skills with checkmarks or similar indicator for each of the applicable directors possessing the requisite experience. Later versions of the matrix include, or are supplemented with, a description of each desired skill and (ideally) how the skill is relevant to board effectiveness for that specific company. To emphasize the connection to strategy, some skill matrices now visually present qualifications related to strategy separate from other necessary competencies of its board members.<\/span><\/p>

2. Director Biographies<\/span><\/h2>

As companies enhance their board skillset disclosures, nominee biographies also have been reimagined. To some extent, it seems that disclosure around director experience has come full circle and perhaps the newest presentation of board qualifications and skills in bios most closely aligns with the intent of the rule promulgated 15 years ago requiring \u201cspecific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that the person should serve as a director . . . in light of the registrant\u2019s business and structure.\u201d Bios that once laid out a director\u2019s career path, together with a narrative discussion, moved to a bulleted format with career highlights and skills lists or icons. While easy-to-digest, readers needed to make the\u00a0<\/span>connection between the director\u2019s professional background and the acquired skill. More recently, however, biographies directly and succinctly link qualifications with experience. Some companies even distinguish between type or level of experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

3. Re-nomination Process<\/h2>\n

Director nomination disclosures historically have focused on the nomination and corporate governance committee\u2019s recommendation of the slate of nominees for election. Often this section includes a statement that the committee annually considers the current composition of the board, as well as ongoing consideration of the board\u2019s collective skills and needs in light of the company\u2019s near and long-term strategic ambitions. Many proxies then move directly into disclosure about the process for identifying new director candidates. More recently, however, companies are sharing more detail about how they <\/span>consider the renomination of incumbent directors, with some companies emphasizing that re-nomination is not automatic. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Director Time Commitments<\/span><\/h2>

Most director policies limiting service on other boards reflect the stated guidelines of the company\u2019s most influential investors and proxy advisors. Disclosure of company-specific board service policies is common to show alignment. While shareholders still show interest in these policies, there is increased interest in understanding the board\u2019s analysis of each director\u2019s ability to devote the time necessary for effective service rather than only a bright-line test. Accordingly, proxies are including more information about the board\u2019s process for considering director time commitments.<\/span><\/p>

5. Shareholder Engagement Cycle<\/span><\/h2>

Companies generally want to show that they are actively engaging with their shareholders year-round. While quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences, and conversations with investor relations and management are ongoing, the primary focus of proxy statement disclosure has been around documenting the who\/what\/ when of the governance outreach program (although some companies also include an overview of their investor relations calendar). The \u201cwhen\u201d component of the disclosure led to a common graphic showing governance engagement efforts during each of spring, summer, fall, and winter. Recently, this graphic has moved away from emphasizing the seasonality of engagement to instead focus more on how each outreach campaign aligns with the board\u2019s calendar and its consideration of feedback.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

6. Beyond the Boardroom<\/span><\/h2>

Expectations of directors continue to increase with more topics directly falling under the umbrella of strategy and risk oversight. To demonstrate that the board understands the business and is more engaged than a limited quarterly schedule of meetings might suggest, proxy disclosures often show ongoing director involvement. The \u201cbeyond the boardroom\u201d presentation in proxies began six or seven years ago, but decreased during the covid period. Recently, there has been an emergence of this practice, which brings together director orientation, continuing education, and meeting attendance disclosure with other director touchpoints such as briefings and updates between meetings, board interaction with management and employees, and onsite visits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

7. Sustainability Governance<\/span><\/h2>

Remember when most proxies discussed board oversight only in the context of risk? Although not required, it is now common practice to discuss the board\u2019s responsibilities more broadly, including at a minimum the board\u2019s role with respect to strategy and CEO succession planning. Insight into the board\u2019s approach to oversight of specific topics are also frequent disclosures. According to Labrador\u2019s recent benchmarking, approximately three-quarters of companies include a section, subsection or callout discussing the board\u2019s role in ESG oversight in the proxy statement. This disclosure is often accompanied by a visual element depicting the distribution of specific sustainability-related topics among the board and board committees. Inclusion of the governance framework supporting key initiatives can also be helpful \u2013 for example, the board oversight graphic may also include cross-functional management and operating committees tasked with day-to-day ESG responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

8. Selection of Incentive Metrics<\/span><\/h2>

Most shareholders cast their executive compensation advisory vote based on an assessment of pay and performance alignment. Accordingly, in addition to required CD&A disclosures about program objectives and elements, including if material, \u201cspecific items of corporate performance<\/span>(1)<\/span>\u201dconsidered by the compensation committee, it is also necessary to explain the rationale for selecting certain metrics for the company\u2019s incentive plans and <\/span>why<\/span> they are important performance indicators given the company\u2019s unique business and its strategic goals. Given the importance of metric selection, we have noticed recent efforts to make this disclosure more prominent, including use of headers or even dedicated sections.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

9. Equity Grant Practices<\/span><\/h2>

The SEC\u2019s 2023 insider trading rules require not only disclosure about Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements and grants of option awards within four days of reporting material nonpublic information, but also annual disclosure about policies and practices related to the timing of option award grants and release of material nonpublic information. While the latter is not a new requirement in principle, CD&A discussion usually focused on the timing and pricing of specific grants or was embedded in the compensation committee\u2019s decision-making timeline. With the new Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K now in effect, we expect more companies will choose to include a separate section dedicated to its equity grant timing practices (irrespective of whether options are currently part of the equity mix).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

10. Compensation Recoupment Policies<\/span><\/h2>

Disclosure around companies\u2019 recoupment policies slowly have evolved from a high-level bullet in the \u201cwhat we do\u201d list of compensation best practices to a summary of key terms, mostly to satisfy investor inquiries into whether the policy covers <\/span>any<\/span> unearned compensation (e.g., due to an accounting restatement) and\/or whether forfeiture is required in situations arising from employee actions. With requirements stemming from Dodd-Frank and related exchanges to adopt compliant recovery policies by December 2023, more robust disclosures were found in the wave of 2024 proxies. Many companies adopted a second policy to comply with the new rules, but also maintained their existing policy, requiring an explanation of the overlap and differences.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
