Further to the Society's efforts to help build consensus around the various Pay Ratio Rule interpretative issues and disclosure considerations, and to assist issuers with preparation and compliance pending any repeal, modification or deferral of the rule, here are the Key Takeaways from the Society Securities Law Committee (SLC)-facilitated August 2nd Teleconference on Pay Ratio Rules: Your Questions Answered (audio archive here), which was shaped by numerous member questions submitted in advance and included participation by The Brink's Company Assistant General Counsel & Corporate Secretary Lindsay Blackwood, Foot Locker SVP, General Counsel & Secretary Sheilagh Clarke, Hanesbrands Deputy General Counsel & Assistant Secretary Elizabeth Southern, Compensia's Mark Borges, and Skadden Arps' Brian Breheny and Caroline Kim.
The Key Takeaways - which were developed by SLC Chair Jared Brandman, UCLA Law's Jim Barrall, and the Society's Randi Morrison, based on the call - cover a wide range of tactical, practical and lessons-already-learned considerations, and are aimed at assisting companies of all shapes and sizes.
The next SLC-hosted call (open to all Society members), which also will be shaped by member input in advance, is scheduled for October 19th from 3 - 4:30 pm Eastern Time. Stay tuned for additional details and registration information.
