  • SEC disclosure developments and hot topics, including cybersecurity, AI and other areas of SEC staff focus.
  • Executive compensation considerations, including clawback provisions, new option grant practice disclosures and how to address the third year of pay-versus-performance reporting.
  • Annual meeting and corporate governance trends, including shareholder proposal statistics and ways to enhance voluntary proxy disclosures.
