2009 Say on Pay Survey

Momentum continues to build in Congress to require that all public companies offer their shareholders an advisory vote on executive pay. The new 2009 Say on Pay Survey from independent compensation consultants Pearl Meyer & Partners offers an in-depth look at how 231 respondents across a range of industries are approaching this major new governance initiative, including:

• Whether their companies' pay practices are being changed in anticipation of a shareholder vote
• Whether they are expanding shareholder communications around compensation
• The likelihood that Say on Pay will be required in the 2010 or 2011 proxy seasons
• Whether their organizations' own pay programs would pass a shareholder vote
• To what extent they think proxy advisory firms will influence voting outcomes
