How does COVID-19 impact pay in equity plan proposals? What do proxy advisors recommend during this time?

“As I'm sure everyone has noticed, it's not business as usual in North America. The COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically changed the landscape for the proxy season. Beyond obvious changes in how we work, the outbreak has tested many corporate governance functions, and frankly, given proof positive as to why factors like anti-hedging restrictions and insider trading controls are absolutely critical. The disruption is palpable and Glass Lewis has already counted dozens of delayed US meetings, and hundreds more that have been converted to a virtual format in North America. That said, the bones of corporate governance have not changed. Investors still have entire departments that are focused just on understanding corporate and corporate governance related trends and risks…[and] managers are working overtime trying to interpret the market that we're in. For the next 30 minutes, we will talk about how we apply our own policies here at Glass Lewis to these tough issues.”
