In addition to coverage of relevant recent trends and developments relating to, e.g., clawbacks, P4P, equity award grants, and noncompetes, Skadden's updated edition of its 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, employment agreements and executive benefit plans, 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.
