In this month's issue of Executive Compensation Trends, we focus on two items of increased significance for the upcoming proxy season - stock ownership guidelines for executives and the personal use of corporate aircraft by Fortune 100 CEOs. Both topics are increasingly important to executives, board members and compensation professionals as the adoption dates for the SEC's new disclosure regulations approach. The new rules significantly reduce the perquisite disclosure threshold and call for the Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") to include disclosure of "equity or other security ownership requirements" for executives. In the upcoming months, we expect companies to review their practices in both of these areas in anticipation of increased disclosure requirements in 2007.
