An Early Peek at the 2012 Proxies

Winston & Strawn partner Oscar David participated in an interactive webinar focused on "An Early Peek at the 2012 Proxies," on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 12:15 (Central).

This practical eLunch briefing was the fourth in a series of briefings by Winston & Strawn designed to help corporate counsel, investor relations, human resource professionals, and CFO's stay on top of and navigate the changing governance landscape for the 2012 Proxy Season.

In this webinar, we shared with our audience an early look at the 2012 Proxies already on file with the SEC and provided analysis and comments regarding how those proxies responded to new requirements, and how they may have changed their focus. We also provided an update on newly issued ISS Quantitative and Qualitative Approach to Compensation. This timely update featured a discussion of the following hot button issues:

• How early proxy filers have responded to the 2012 ISS Proxy Voting Policies
• New disclosures in executive compensation
• Disclosures regarding engaging key stakeholders, political contributions, hydraulic fracturing, and other ISS key issues.
