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, here are the Key Takeaways from the Society Securities Law Committee (SLC)-facilitated October 19th teleconference, which was shaped largely by numerous member questions submitted in advance, as well as the recently-issued SEC (Commission and Staff) guidance.
Many thanks to each of our panel participants for sharing their robust hands-on experiences and seasoned perspectives for the benefit of many:

The Key Takeaways - which were developed by Jim Barrall, SLC Chair Jared Brandman, and the Society's Randi Morrison based on panelists' insights - cover a wide range of tactical, practical and lessons-already-learned considerations, and are aimed at assisting companies of all shapes and sizes.
