Reportedly consistent with last year, shareholders have supported say-on-pay proposals at the 91% level (on average) so far this proxy season, and - subject to the balance of the season - the percentage of companies failing to receive a majority supporting vote has declined from 2.8% of companies last year to 1.6% this year based on Russell 3000 reporting results.
Shareholder support for management-proposed long-term equity incentive plans remains similarly high - at approximately 89% (compared to 90% for all of 2015) based on 198 S&P 1500 companies through June 3rd, with no plan thus far this year failing to receive a majority vote.
