Skadden's just-released updated edition of its always-instructive Compensation Committee Handbook provides information for listed company compensation committees and their advisors about core committee duties and responsibilities - including instructive primers on the use of outside advisors, equity compensation, IRC §162(m) and other relevant tax provisions, Section 16, committee composition requirements, and director compensation - and practical guidance on how to best discharge them. The Appendix includes a sample calendar of committee meetings and responsibilities, and a glossary of commonly used terms.
