As summer winds down, we want to highlight three key deadlines and actions items topics public companies need to keep in mind as they head into fall. The first relates to certain amendments adopted by the SEC that require hyperlinks to exhibits in exhibit indexes beginning September 1, 2017. The second relates to the annual global benchmark policy formulation process of Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). The third relates to certain rules adopted by the SEC in 2015, concerning CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio disclosure (the Pay Ratio Rule). Sanjay M. Shirodkar,Greg Hayes, Rita M. Patel, Brooke R. Kerendian, and BrittanyAnn McCants break down these developments in their corporate governance alert.
