A detailed report from Harvard Law School (https://lnkd.in/gU5MECtZ) explores evolving trends in Executive remuneration clawback in the United States. Australia can expect new Corporate Governance guidelines, effective from 1 July 2025, and may find it useful to note how clawback is being approached in other countries. Contact us today to prepare for these upcoming changes and make sure your Executive remuneration remains competitive and compliant. For more information on clawback (and why you should be paying attention!), check out our blog, "What About Clawback?

A recent audit report by proxy advisors ACSI states that "Executives are more likely to be sacked than lose their bonuses". (Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dSJzyXBa) The audit took a sample from ASX100 & ASX200 companies and found that only 8 CEOs received no bonus in the past year. This is perhaps an indicator that short-term incentives are not necessarily being aligned with company performance. Companies continue to face careful scrutiny by shareholders and proxy firms regarding bonus payouts and it's important to ensure that Executive pay and company performance are properly aligned.  The audit findings echo our own data on CEO bonus payouts in 2023, where ASX300 mining and metals companies reporting low TSR still paid out over 50% of maximum available bonuses. (See infographic) Our feature blog this week, "Performance Rights: 3 Real-World Examples" (Read it here: https://lnkd.in/g4intdXA) can offer some high-level insight into how companies can align pay with performance. We invite you to contact us for further guidance.

Read our latest blog for 3 examples of how companies in different industries might use them to drive engagement and performance. https://lnkd.in/g4intdXA #performancerights #executivepay #incentives

While a range of varying investor concerns may influence voting outcomes each year, those tasked with writing the company remuneration report will want to be duly certain that the quality of the report itself doesn’t become a point of failure. After all, an effective remuneration report does more than simply meet The Corporations Act requirements, it serves as a window into a public company’s principles regarding pay and performance.
