The Changing Face of Change in Control Benefits

Abstract

As the scrutiny placed on executive compensation increases, so too must companies continue to be diligent in designing and implementing their compensation arrangements. They must be competitive with peers so they can attract and retain their talent but must continue to maximize shareholder value and manage third party perceptions of their pay practices. Companies must be prepared by asking the right questions and being ready to respond to criticism, especially if they engage in poor pay practices as determined by shareholder advisory firms.
