DFIN’s just-released, annual searchable, interactive "Guide to Effective Proxies" contains numerous sample disclosures on the most commonly addressed and trending topics, including board and workforce diversity, board skills matrices, board and director evaluations, director recruitment and succession, risk and ESG oversight, ESG, human capital management, DE&I, the CD&A, and more, as well as the ability to access full proxies (for contextual purposes) with one easy click.
Voluntary disclosures included in the Guide on climate risk, pay for performance alignment, and director nominees (among many other topics) can help inform new disclosure desired or expected by investors, responsive to new or anticipated SEC rules or areas of regulatory scrutiny, and/or proactively responsive to a projected increase in the number of proxy contests triggered by the new universal proxy rule.
The always eagerly awaited annual resource is designed to help companies benchmark their disclosures and improve their proxy statement's visual appeal, clarity, and navigability, as well as select a company-specific style and format.
