Executive Summary and Acknowledgements

We are pleased to present the 2018 Annual

Corporate Governance Review.

For the second year in a row, Georgeson

partnered with Proxy Insight on the coordination

of voting data and analytics. Proxy Insight was

instrumental in sourcing the annual meeting and

proxy voting data contained in this report.

New This Year

The 2018 report provides a comprehensive review

of relevant corporate governance issues covering

five sections: shareholder proposals on governance

issues, shareholder proposals on environmental

and social issues, director elections, say-on-

pay proposals and CEO pay ratio disclosure.

Based on reader feedback and trends in the current

market, we have expanded our review of environmental,

social and governance shareholder proposals that

were the subject of a vote during the period July 1,

2017 through June 30, 2018. Consequently, this year

we are providing additional information detailing

voting decisions by institutional investors related

to employment diversity shareholder proposals.

We have also added in a new section on institutional

investor support for the election of directors year-

over-year since 2015. Please see Part 3 for institutional

investor voter support for elections of directors from

major U.S. and international investment firms.

Finally, we have included a new section related to 2018

CEO pay ratio disclosure. With effect from this year, U.S.

public companies are required to disclose their CEO pay

ratio in their proxy statements. We have captured ratio

trends across sectors for the Russell 3000 in Part 5.

Summary of Report Sections

Throughout the report we have included analysis of each

section to give readers a substantive overview of the

voting outcomes contained in that particular report part.

Methodology

Shareholder Proposals, Report Parts 1 and 2

These sections include shareholder proposal information

related to companies that 1) are members of the S&P 1500 Index

(as of May 1, 2018) and 2) held annual meetings July 1, 2017

through June 30, 2018. We obtained the number of votes cast

for, against, withheld, abstained and broker non-vote from our

research partner, Proxy Insight, citing publicly available sources.

We then calculated for each proposal:

> The votes cast “For” and “Against” as a

percentage of shares voted in the quorum.

> The votes cast “For” and “Against” as a

percentage of the company’s total outstanding

shares as of meeting record date.

In Part 1, information on shareholder proposals

withdrawn or omitted was gathered with the

assistance of ISS Corporate Solutions.

In Part 2, Figure 21, we have summarized 2018 definitive

vote detail results for the largest U.S. and foreign

institutional investors' (measured by assets under

management) voting decisions on a shareholder

proposal related to employment diversity reporting.

Director Elections, Report Part 3

The director election data is a year-by-year review based on U.S.

companies in the Russell 3000 from 2015-2018. The "For" (%)

is based on the percentage of times an investor voted "For" a

director election proposal. This data is gathered from publicly

disclosed investor voting decisions, including N-PX public filings.

Say-on-pay, Report Part 4

This section details vote outcomes for companies that 1)

are members of the S&P 500 Index (as of May 1, 2018)

and 2) held annual meetings July 1, 2017 through June 30,

2018. We obtained the number of votes cast for, against,

withheld, abstained and broker non-vote from our research

partner, Proxy Insight, citing publicly available sources.

We then calculated for each proposal:

> The votes cast “For” and “Against” as a

percentage of shares voted in the quorum.

> The votes cast “For” and “Against” as a

percentage of the company’s total outstanding

shares as of meeting record date.

In Figure 24, the a year-by-year review is based on the

percentage of times an investor voted "For" a say-on-

pay proposal for companies in the S&P 500 index. We

gathered the data from publicly disclosed investor

voting decisions, including Form N-PX public filings.

CEO Pay Ratio, Report Part 5

The CEO pay ratio data provided is based on companies

which are members of the Russell 3000 (as of June 27,

2018). The table provides the highest and lowest values in

each sector, as well as the average and median values.

Other Notes

Proxy Insight and Georgeson’s data collection and

calculation methodologies ensure the accuracy and

comparability of our statistics from company to company

and from year to year. We thereby avoid the anomalies

that result from companies’ and sponsors’ inconsistent

treatment of abstentions and broker non-votes.

Calculations of percentage of votes cast may

not equal 100 percent due to rounding.

Georgeson has collected and published statistics on corporate

governance proposals since 1987, the year institutional

investors first sponsored shareholder proposals.

Part 1> Shareholder Proposal Voting Results – Governance

This section details:

> Historical support for governance

proposal types (Figures 1 - 7)

> The universe of proponents for governance

shareholder proposals (Figure 8) and;

> Voting results on governance shareholder

proposals (Figures 9.1 – 9.3).

Overview

There was a significant increase in the number of

governance-related shareholder proposals that were the

subject of a shareholder vote in 20181, up 45 to 266 in

total (see Figure 2). This growth was driven principally by

increases in two proposals (see Figure 3).

1) Shareholder right to act by written consent –

total of 36 voted on, up from 14 in 2017

2) Shareholder right to call a special meeting –

total of 57 voted on, up from 24 in 2017

Support for these two proposal types has remained

consistently high over the last five years. Additionally,

issuers have often changed their governing documents

to address such matters in the aftermath of receiving

majority votes in favor.

The success of these two proposals is also connected to

its sponsors, many of whom are well-versed in the U.S.

Securities Exchange Act’s shareholder proposal process.

The sponsors are:

> John Chevedden:

> Written consent proposal: Mr. Chevedden was

sponsor or co-sponsor of 26 of 36 the proposals

> Special meeting proposal: Mr. Chevedden was

sponsor or co-sponsor of 39 of the 57 proposals

> Steiner Family:

> Written consent proposal: The Steiner family was

sponsor or co-sponsor of 7 of the 36 proposals

> Special meeting proposal: The Steiner family was

sponsor or co-sponsor of 12 of the 57 proposals

Of the 266 governance shareholder proposals that were

the subject of a shareholder vote this proxy season,

board-related proposals were the most popular measure,

accounting for approximately 26% of all governance

proposals. This category attracted an average level of

support of approximately 33%. Below is a summary of

key trends:

> Separate role of CEO/Chairman. This topic continues

to be one of the most popular governance proposals.

In 2018, 46 such proposals were the subject of a

shareholder vote. However, support has hovered

around 30% for the past five years, as successful and/

or founder-CEOs have been effective in defending their

dual roles.

> Require majority vote to elect directors: As this

proposal continues to attract a majority vote at

company meetings, the number of submissions has

continued to fall year-over-year, indicating proactive

adoption of majority voting procedures.

Proxy Access (see Figure 7)

In 2018, the total number of proxy access proposals,

inclusive of both enact and fix-it types, that were the

subject of a shareholder vote decreased by 12 from 2017.

Moreover, this year was first time that fix-it proposals

outnumbered enactment measures. However, all 30 fix-it

proposals failed to attract a majority of votes in favor.

Page 11: Annual Corporate Governance Review · 2019. 10. 2. · 4 > Georgeson | Proxy Insight Executive Summary and Acknowledgements We are pleased to present the 2018 Annual Corporate Governance

2018 Annual Corporate Governance Review > 9

Notwithstanding the reduction in the number of

enactment proxy access proposals, these measures

attracted a higher level of support than fix-it proxy access

proposals. This trend suggests that shareholders may

be coalescing around best practices. The New York City

(NYC) Comptroller’s Office has been the most successful

and prolific proponent of enactment proposals. Based

upon our review of annual meeting results, the specific

provisions of the NYC enactment proposals attract

significant shareholder support. These provisions include:

i) The opportunity for shareholders to nominate

candidates for two (2) board seats or 25% of the total

number of board seats, whichever is greater; and

ii) The nominator (or group of shareholders comprising

the nominator) be a shareholder for at least the

previous 3 years while holding at least 3% of the

issuer’s stock over the entirety of that period.

Figures 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 detail the entire universe of

governance shareholder proposals that were the subject

of a shareholder vote, organized by company, proposal

type and sponsor.

July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

Part 2> Selected Shareholder Proposal Voting Results – Environmental and Social

This section details:

> The universe of proponents of environmental and

social (E&S) shareholder proposals (Figure 10)

> Voting results on select E&S proposals from this

category (Figures 11 - 18); and

> Investor voting results on a shareholder proposal

relating to employment diversity reporting at eight

companies in the S&P 1500 (Figure 19).

This year, over 400 E&S-related proposals were submitted

to companies in the S&P 1500; 150 of these shareholder

proposals were the subject of a shareholder vote. We

believe a number of factors help explain this difference.

As in prior years, companies were successful in their

efforts to obtain no-action relief to exclude certain

E&S measures. More significantly, some companies

chose to negotiate with proponents to address their

concerns outside the context of the shareholder

proposal process. These negotiations often resulted in

companies providing to the market additional reporting

and disclosure on diversity and climate change-

related matters.1 This dynamic helps illustrate the

effectiveness of shareholders leveraging the “private

ordering” process, especially in the context of E&S

proposals.2 Asset owners such as pension funds have

also been active in employing the exempt-solicitation

process in support of certain environmental topics.3

In 2017, 212 E&S proposals were the subject of a

shareholder vote. While the number of E&S proposals

decreased in 2018 compared to last year, the average

level of support in favor rose in many E&S categories.

These select proposal types are detailed in Figures 11 – 16.

In one proposal category, relating to climate change,

there was both a decrease in the number of proposals

that were subject to a vote and a decline in overall

support levels; see Figure 17.

Shareholder Proposals

As detailed in Figure 10, in 20184 the number of

E&S proposals sponsored by labor unions, public

pension funds, and individual shareholders that went

to a vote was similar to the number from 2017.

This year, the New York City Pension Funds increased

their efforts with nine sponsored proposals that were

subject to a shareholder vote – a majority of these

proposals related to employment diversity reporting.

They sponsored three such proposals in 2017.

The number of proposals sponsored by religious

organizations that were the subject of a shareholder

vote in 2018 decreased significantly from 2017. Most

notably, Holy Land Principles, Inc. which had 13 sponsored

proposals subject to a shareholder vote in 2017, did not

have any proposals that were subject to a vote this year.

Vote Results: Environmental and Social

Shareholder Proposals

Board and Employee Diversity

Over the past two years, there was additional governance

focus and heightened media attention on employment

and board diversity. In Figure 11 we provide a summary of

shareholder proposal efforts related to employment and

board diversity in 2018. In one instance in 2018, a diversity

related shareholder proposal received majority support.

See Part 3 “Director Elections” for more details on

investor voting policy changes related to board diversity

and director elections.

Climate Change

As noted above, there was a decline in the number

of shareholder proposals related to climate change;

specifically there were 8 such proposals in 2018

as compared to 23 in 2017. This decline is partially

attributable to the success this proposal has enjoyed over

the past few years. Many companies are increasingly

choosing to address proactively certain of the

proponents’ concerns; consequently, two-thirds of the

2-degree scenario proposals filed in 2018 were ultimately

withdrawn. Five companies received a climate change

related proposal in both 2017 and 2018. See figure 17.

Noteworthy Proposals: Topics from 2018

In Figure 18, we highlight five companies that

received shareholder proposals on social issues that

attracted media attention during the 2018 proxy

season. Notably, one shareholder proposal urging

the release of a report on gun violence relative to

the company’s firearms business received 68%

support in favor, almost double the average level

of support for all E&S proposals this year.

This year, two large social media companies and one

multinational technology company received proposals

seeking more transparency on the robustness of their

content management controls. The proposals generally

request that the companies produce reports on their

policies to combat efforts to spread misinformation and

impersonate others on the internet.

At one large pharmaceutical company, the Sisters of St.

Francis of Philadelphia and Trinity Health sponsored a

proposal requesting the company produce a report on

measures it had taken related to the opioid epidemic.

Five other companies received a similar proposal this

year, which were ultimately omitted from the final ballot.

We believe these proposals on social issues will continue

to evolve over time and expect to see similar proposals

in the 2019 proxy season. Moreover, we expect there

will be an increase in the number of these proposals

and that support levels will continue to increase.

Voting Results: Environmental and Social

Shareholder Proposals

As outlined above, in both 2017 and 2018 there was

additional governance focus and heightened media

attention on employment and board diversity. In Figure 19

we have summarized 2018 voting results for the largest

U.S. and foreign institutional investors, by assets under

management, relative to employment diversity reporting.

A majority of these investors voted in favor of some or all

of such proposals. The results demonstrate how investors’

voting policies have evolved over time.

Part 3> Director Elections

This section details:

> Frequency of investor voting support “For” director

elections for companies in the Russell 3000 index held

over the last four years (see Figure 20).

This discussion also summarizes investor voting policy

changes related to director elections that may present

challenges for some issuers in the 2019 proxy season.

Historical Director Election Results

While investor vote support for director elections has been

consistently high over the last four years, we identified

several instances where 20181 investor support decreased

by 5% or more when compared to 2017 levels. The majority

of these instances were due to recent changes in investors’

voting policies related to board composition. Specifically, a

number of influential investors’ policies now recommend

that a board contain a minimum number of women. In the

absence of such diversity, the institutions will vote against

the election of the chair of the board’s nominating or

governance committee or others.

More institutional investors now place a greater emphasis

on board composition and effectiveness when evaluating

company performance and whether boards adequately

represent the investors’ long-term interests. In particular,

investors are seeking more information on directors’

backgrounds, skill sets and perspectives.

Investor and Proxy Advisor Policy Changes

In late 2017 and early 2018, BlackRock, State Street Global

Advisors (SSGA) and T. Rowe Price (TRP) updated their

director election voting policies. Glass Lewis and ISS also

updated their voting policy recommendations. Some of

these changes were in effect for the 2018 proxy season while

others will go into effect in 2019. The following is a summary

of these changes:

BlackRock:

> Board gender diversity: BlackRock’s policies stress the

importance of a board that comprises a diverse group

of individuals bringing to bear a range of experiences

and competing views and opinions. In particular, on

gender diversity, BlackRock now will “normally expect

to see at least two women directors on every board.”

Failure to account for diversity on the board may

cause BlackRock to recommend against the election of

nominating/governance committee members.

> Director over-boarding: BlackRock’s policies now

provide that CEOs should serve on a maximum of two

boards – their own company board and one additional

board. Previously, Blackrock supported CEO service on

two outside boards. In addition, BlackRock reaffirmed

its policy that outside directors should sit on no more

than four boards.

State Street Global Advisors (SSGA):

> Focus on board diversity: As reflected in its annual

policy updates, board diversity has been a focus for

SSGA for several years. According to its policy, “a well-

constituted board is fundamental to a well-governed

company, with board diversity a core attribute of a

board’s quality.” In accordance with its proxy guidelines,

SSGA expects boards to be comprised of at least one

female director; if the board is not, SSGA may vote

against the chair of the board’s nominating and/or

governance committee.

T. Rowe Price (TRP):

> Board diversity: Although TRP has not adopted a voting

policy on board diversity, it added a section in its voting

guidelines discussing the value of board diversity. Its

policy notes what it considers the lack of diversity in

Page 53: Annual Corporate Governance Review · 2019. 10. 2. · 4 > Georgeson | Proxy Insight Executive Summary and Acknowledgements We are pleased to present the 2018 Annual Corporate Governance

2018 Annual Corporate Governance Review > 51

the current U.S. company board composition and the

potential risk this imbalance may pose to a company’s

competitiveness over time. The TRP policy states

that board diversity will be a topic of focus in its

engagement program that may form the basis of a

future voting policy guideline.

> Eliminated Three-Year-Look-back on Poison Pills: TRP

will vote against all directors or certain committee

members at boards that have adopted a poison

pill without shareholder approval, and with no

commitment to put it to a shareholder vote within 12

months. Prior to the policy update, TRP voted against

directors only in cases where the pill was adopted

within the past three years. As a result of this policy

change, director nominees at portfolio companies of

TRP with non-shareholder approved poison pills older

than three years will now also be subject to negative

votes from TRP.

Glass Lewis:2

> Board diversity: Beginning in 2019, Glass Lewis will

generally recommend voting against the chair of the

nominating committee at a company with no female

directors on the board.

> Virtual-only meetings: Beginning in 2019, Glass Lewis

will recommend voting against the members of the

governance committee at any company that holds a

virtual-only annual meeting unless the proxy statement

contains robust disclosure that assures shareholders

that they will be afforded the same rights and

opportunities to participate as they would at an in-

person meeting.

ISS:

> Updated categorization of directors: ISS changed the

nomenclature it uses to describe directors. Going

forward, it will now categorize directors as executive

director, non-independent non-executive director

and independent director (replacing, respectively,

inside director, affiliated outside director and outside

director).

> Executive or director share pledging: ISS may

recommend against all members of the committee

that oversees share pledging, or the full board in

cases when a company executive or director pledges a

quantum of company stock significant enough to raise

concerns.

> Non-employee director (NED) compensation: Beginning

in 2019, ISS will recommend against board/committee

members who approve or set NED compensation when

there is a recurring pattern of excessive such pay levels

without a compelling rationale or other mitigating

factors.

Conclusion

Investors are increasingly leveraging their voting power

at annual meetings to address concerns over board

composition.

We believe investors will continue to evolve their board

composition related voting policies. These changes will drive

change and intensify focus on company performance and

shareholder value.

July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

before this report’s distribution. All other policy guidelines are related to

2018 proxy season updates.

Part 4> Management Proposal – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

This section details:

> Figure 21 details of voting results for say-on-pay for

companies in the S&P 500 from the 20181 proxy season.

> Figure 22 summarizes the frequency of top U.S. and

international institutional investor vote support “For”

say-on-pay proposals for the period 2015-2018.

Overview

Say-on-pay vote results for 2018 continued to be

strongly supportive of management with more than

four-fifths of S&P 500 companies receiving 90%

or more shareholder support. Average support

remained high with approximately 91% of votes cast

in favor. Concurrently, there was a slight increase in

the number of proposals failing to receive majority

shareholder support. Specifically, this year eleven S&P

500 companies failed to receive majority support

for their say-on-pay proposal. Approximately 4% of

the S&P 500 companies were in the ‘red zone,’ i.e.

received between 50% to 70% vote support in favor.

The main reason for shareholders’ low support continues

to be CEO pay-for-performance misalignment. Lack

of performance-based payouts or use of performance

goals that were not sufficiently rigorous contributed

to investor misalignment concerns. According to ISS

Analytics, for S&P 500 companies, the median pay for

a continuing CEO increased by 9% in 2017 over 2016.2

Unsurprisingly, the increase in CEO compensation

was another major factor contributing to the pay-for-

performance misalignment. Other common reasons

for shareholder opposition include granting one-

off or new-hire equity awards without performance

conditions, large discretionary bonus awards and lack

of disclosure relating to goal setting or pay changes.

One of the four S&P 500 companies that failed their

say-on-pay vote in 2017 failed to attract majority support

again in 2018. The three other companies that failed in

2017 attracted support levels ranging from approximately

59% to 93% in 2018. In general, these companies

disclosed that they made compensation program

changes based on feedback following shareholder

engagement. The changes commonly involved

increased disclosure, adjustments to performance

metrics and the relative portions of fixed and variable

pay components. In our view, the companies with

poor vote results in 2018 should consider engaging in

shareholder outreach to understand better the reasons

for the significant shareholder opposition. Typically, a

well-crafted engagement program can demonstrate

responsiveness to shareholder concerns and potentially

help to avoid another failed vote in the future.

Vote support among the top 10 U.S. investors (based

on assets under management) averaged 89.4%

in 2018, slightly below overall average support for

the say-on-pay proposals. Support by the top 10

investors also declined slightly from 2017. Note

that support by two institutions declined by 12%

and 6% from their respective levels last year.

1 When referencing ‘2018’, we are referring to the reporting period

July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

Part 5> CEO Pay Ratio

This section details notable outcomes from the CEO pay

ratio disclosure mandated by the Dodd-Frank reform

legislation. Figure 23 provides data for companies in the

Russell 3000 index. The table provides the highest and

lowest values in each sector as well as the calculated

average and median in each sector.

Overview

The CEO pay ratio disclosure requirement went into effect

during the 2018 proxy season; companies with fiscal year

beginning on or after January 1, 2017 were required to

disclose the CEO pay ratio for the first time in their 2018

proxy statements. Median pay ratio across Russell 3000

was 70:1.1 The Consumer Cyclical sector had the highest

average (409:1) and Utilities had the lowest (61:1).

Although there was not an actionable voting proposal

associated with this disclosure, it will be interesting to see

how investors and/or proxy advisors use the ratio in the

future for additional review of companies’ pay practices.

* Instances where the ratio is below 1 occurs when the compensation of the CEO is lower than that of the median employee. In these instances companies typically have disclosed that their CEO pay is largely based on periodic performance based and/or equity grants.
