PwC’s guide: “Going public? What boards need to know about corporate governance” identifies and discusses pre-IPO preparedness considerations relevant to key topics such as board composition and leadership; board and board committee structure and composition; director election voting standards; share structure; shareholder expectations, proposals, and activism; and proxy advisory firms.
The appendices include a comparison of select core NYSE and Nasdaq governance requirements, select SEC-required proxy statement governance-related disclosures, SEC and stock exchange board committee requirements and select committee benchmarking data, governance listing requirements for foreign private issuers, and SEC-related accommodations for emerging growth companies.
