Equity Plan Proposal Failures: 2007-2009

6/9/2010

 
In this Special Report, Ed Hauder of Exequity and Reid Pearson of The Altman Group examine the 38 equity plan proposals that failed out of approximately 2,200 total proposals put forward by Russell 3,000 companies from 2007 through 2009. The authors detail several lessons for companies to consider when requesting shares, the most significant of which are to ensure that both dilution and burn rate are not excessive.

The Special Report also looks at the success rates of RiskMetrics/ISS' against vote recommendations for equity plan proposals and finds that they vary, sometimes significantly, based on the industry group. Similarly, the percent of equity plan proposals that failed varies based on industry group. Companies that are considering requesting shareholders to approve additional shares for their equity compensation plans will have a better idea of the challenges they face after reading this Special Report.
