On July 29, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed its schedule for adopting rules on the four principal remaining executive compensation rules to be issued under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The adoption dates for rules on the following topics were moved to the January-June 2012 period. This delay means that these rules will not be in place for the 2012 proxy season.

The four executive compensation topics on which rules have been delayed are:

  • Pay versus Performance Disclosure

Companies will be required to disclose pay versus performance information in proxy statements for annual meetings, including the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and the financial performance of the company. This disclosure may be provided graphically.
