Regulatory Issues and Compensation Trends Going into 2025

This year featured an abundance of regulatory issues and executive compensation headlines. In the news, the Tesla case examined director independence in setting pay and the Chemours case outlined the optics of potentially inappropriate actions with respect to incentive programs.

In the regulatory arena, there was judicial tug-of-war around the validity of a federal non-compete, as well as continued regulatory gridlock on the oversight and regulation of proxy advisors, which may require that ISS and Glass Lewis make some changes. Further, proxy advisors are updating their voting policies for 2025. 

This webcast with the NACD reviews the details of these developments and what they mean for compensation committees going into a new proxy season. And as committees prepare for 2025, we will also offer fresh data that look at how companies plan to set 2024 payouts and compensation levels for the new year.
