Gibson Dunn's "Shareholder Proposal Developments During the 2023 Proxy Season" covers shareholder proposal statistics, voting results, and key topics and trends for proposals submitted and reported, withdrawn, and voted, in ISS's databases from January 1 through June 1, 2023, for Russell 3000 annual meetings held on or before June 1, 2023, and noteworthy SEC no-action requests and determinations for the period October 1, 2022 - June 1, 2023.

The always-informative annual coverage also includes key insights on these and other hot topics:

• The ongoing rise in shareholder proposal submissions, and executive compensation and E&S proposals particularly, coupled with a significant decline in overall voting support
• The significant year-over-year decline in no-action requests, coupled with a sharp rise in no-action requests granted
• The continued proliferation of exempt solicitation filings
