Le say on pay obligatoire ?
« Should Say-on-Pay Votes Be Binding? » (The CLS Blue Sky Blog, 13 septembre 2016)… en voilà une belle question que se posent
The practice of allowing shareholders to cast non-binding say-on-pay votes has spread quickly and broadly throughout the world. It seemed that investors would finally get the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with outrageous or ill-conceived compensation packages.
The practice was, at first, voluntary, with companies having the option of submitting their compensation policies to a vote. As the number of volunteers remained small, though, investors submitted proposals for requiring companies to carry out the non-binding votes.
In some jurisdictions like the United States, non-binding say-on-pay votes were made mandatory. In Canada, say-on-pay votes are not required, but 80 percent of the largest companies have adopted the practice voluntarily or as a result of pressure from investors.
Now that say-on-pay has been around a few years, what does research tell us about its effectiveness?
À la prochaine…
