Copy LinkThe 2026 proxy season brought fewer shareholder proposals, but no shortage of complexity for issuers. Proposal volume continued to decline from its 2024 peak, while companies faced growing pressure to navigate regulatory uncertainty, legal scrutiny, and shifting investor expectations.
With fewer proposals drawing greater attention, the season raised new questions about the shareholder proposal process, E&S proposals, and how companies communicate effectively in a more polarized environment.
Please join us for our annual webcast in partnership with Cleary Gottlieb as we unpack what changed, what surprised companies, and what boards and management teams should be preparing for now. In addition to looking at the proxy season past and thinking about what is to come, we’ll discuss the SEC proposals (and any new developments) on proxy disclosure and shareholder proposals and how companies think about upcoming changes.
Discussion topics include:
Who should attend: Current and prospective board members; CEOs, general counsel, chief legal officers, corporate secretaries, and other C-suite executives; corporate attorneys; investors; corporate governance and sustainability professionals; and other corporate practitioners.
