SEC Executive Compensation Disclosures And Practices: Preparing For Change Thursday, April 27 l 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM (ET)
Presented by: RR Donnelley and West Legalworks
Price: Complimentary
This is the latest in the RR Donnelley SEC "Hot Topics" series, which covers pertinent topics presented by prominent
corporate securities attorneys, auditors and SEC officers – with CLE credits now available in many states.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from some of the nation’s leading experts on executive compensation! They will
zero in on key provisions of the proposals such as the discussion and analysis requirements, what they mean, how to
identify the information they require, how to disclose it and why you should be taking steps now to prepare before the
rules are finalized.
Now is the time to begin preparing for the SEC’s new rules on executive compensation disclosure. Even though the
new rules are not yet final, the SEC has sent a clear message as to the extent and type of disclosures that they will
require. The new rules are expected to be in effect for the 2007 proxy season and will apply to all executive
compensation granted, paid or earned in 2006.
