To help issuers prepare for the upcoming proxy season, and as a follow-up to our prior post entitled "Compensation Considerations for the 2020 Proxy Season," we are hosting a FREE webinar entitled "Upcoming Proxy Season: Compensatory Thoughts from ISS (an Annual Program)" on Thursday, January 16, 2020 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am Central [Register here].  The purpose of this webinar is to discuss compensatory thoughts and trends of institutional shareholder advisory services such as ISS, including:

• New compensation pronouncements and positions of ISS since the 2019 proxy season;
• Compensatory thoughts where issuers should focus their attention due to continued focus by ISS;
• The impact the foregoing is likely to have (or could have) on current compensation designs; and
• Our overall thoughts and suggestions.
