Executive Compensation Considerations in Light of Market Volatility, Stock Prices and the Unknown
Thursday, April 9, 2020
10:00–11:00 am CT
11:00 am–12:00 pm ET
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss certain executive compensation issues to consider as a result of market volatility and stock prices. To that end, this webinar will cover both short-term and long-term compensation considerations, and cash and equity incentive considerations, including:
- Considerations with respect to annual incentives for 2020;
- Thoughts with respect to outstanding performance-based equity awards where the performance conditions are not likely to be attained, including a discussion of what to do with long-term equity awards that were granted in 2018 and 2019;
- Action items with respect to upcoming 2020 equity incentive grants;
- How to deal with large stock awards resulting from value-based grants of equity (e.g., a grant equal to 40% of the executive’s base salary);
- Design and governance considerations when an executive desires to reduce his or her base salary in exchange for equity grants;
- Using a stock-price forfeiture as a design to avoid future underwater stock options;
- Re-thinking equity plan share pool constraints and individual per grant limitations; and
- How to structure the cancellation of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans so as to avoid negative shareholder optics
