Ten Years of Say-on-Pay Data Show Your “Against” Vote is Coming

Pearl Meyer researched 10 years of say-on-pay proxy advisory recommendations and results to understand how common it has been for a company to receive an “Against” vote recommendation or low say-on-pay support in a given year. The results are illuminating; more than 40% of Russell 3000 companies have received an “Against” vote recommendation from ISS, and almost half have received low say-on-pay support. The trend also suggests that these percentages will continue to increase each year. Therefore, Pearl Meyer believe companies would be well served to conduct regular, proactive stockholder outreach and engagement to mitigate the impact of a future negative vote recommendation.
