The Securities and Exchange Commission today proposed rule amendments to make its executive and director compensation disclosure requirements more principles-based and materiality-driven, providing investors with clearer, more concise, and less complex disclosures. The proposal follows the Commission’s review of its executive and director compensation disclosure requirements, including a request for public comment and a roundtable discussion with representatives from public companies, investors, and other experts in this field. This proposal builds on Chairman Atkins’ efforts to reduce friction for companies looking to join and remain in our public markets.

The proposal would refocus these disclosures—last comprehensively reformed in 2006—on material information and improve investors’ ability to track equity awards through their lifecycle. The proposed amendments aim to reduce compliance burdens for registrants where there is not commensurate benefit for investors and would provide registrants with more flexibility to present their disclosures in a way that is consistent with how compensation programs are constructed today and better represents the intention of their boards of directors and compensation committees.
