One difficult and extremely important challenge faced by publicly traded companies is effectively aligning the
interests of executives and shareholders. Equity-based compensation programs are often designed specifically
to take up this challenge. In addition, supplemental guidelines that force executives to acquire and maintain
sufficient levels of company stock have become increasingly popular. This trend, in conjunction with improving
transparency in corporate governance disclosure, has generated a wealth of information on the prevalence and
design of stock ownership policies.
With the SEC's new compensation disclosure regulations now firmly in place, Equilar reviewed trends in the
prevalence and design of executive ownership guidelines and holding requirements among Fortune 250 companies
for fiscal years 2006 and 2007. This report, covering numerous aspects of the design of share retention policies,
is an invaluable tool for compensation professionals seeking to adopt or amend ownership guidelines and holding
requirements for companies of all sizes.
