Gibson Dunn's "Shareholder Proposal Developments During the 2022 Proxy Season" covers shareholder proposal statistics, voting results, and key topics and trends for proposals submitted and reported, withdrawn, and voted, in ISS's databases from January 1 through June 1, 2022, for Russell 3000 annual meetings, and noteworthy SEC no-action requests and determinations for the period October 1, 2021 - June 1, 2022.
The always-informative annual coverage also includes key insights on these and other hot topics:
- The ongoing proliferation of E&S proposals submitted, coupled with a decline in average voting support
- The significant decline in no-action requests granted in the context of fewer requests submitted compared to 2021
- The continued proliferation of exempt solicitation filings
See last week’s report: “Proxy Season 2022 No-Action Requests: State of Play (Murky) and numerous additional resources on our Proxy Season 2022 and Shareholder Proposals pages.
