Gibson Dunn's recently-released "Shareholder Proposal Developments During the 2017 Proxy Season" covers shareholder proposal statistics, voting results, key topics and trends for proposals submitted and reported on in ISS's databases up to June 1st for 2017 annual meetings, and noteworthy SEC no-action requests and determinations for the period October 1, 2016 - June 1, 2017.
The always-informative annual coverage also includes key insights on these and other hot topics: (i) the rise in E&S proposals, (ii) the increasingly employed and debated virtual-only meetings, and (iii) the potentially growing appetite in Washington to accommodate modest yet meaningful Rule 14a-8 reforms.
