Fifth Annual Navigating the Annual Meeting and Reporting Season

Event Recaps

In this program, our panelists provided a comprehensive examination of recent SEC developments that shape—and the practical considerations that inform—the preparation of public companies’ annual reports and annual shareholder meetings. Speakers addressed evolving compensation frameworks, shareholder proposal dynamics, and cutting-edge corporate governance themes, while also unpacking the interaction between SEC rulemaking and rapidly proliferating state-level mandates—most notably the California sustainability statutes.

The discussion was organized around the following panels:

  • Disclosure Updates: SEC & Executive Orders
  • Investor Environment, Proposals and Issues
  • Shareholder Engagement and Activism
  • Government Enforcement and Private Securities Litigation (Participatory Ethics)
  • Governance & Compensation Developments
