NIRI and the Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals recently conducted a member survey to gather results, lessons learned and trends from those that implemented Notice and Access within the first three proxy season years (2007, 2008 and 2009) of its existence. This Executive Alert provides survey highlights, as well as a discussion of the potential implications of the SEC’s approval this year of an amendment to NYSE Rule 452 eliminating broker discretionary voting in director elections, and a review of the SEC’s recent proposed Notice and Access amendment.
