On Wednesday, October 27, 2010, Davis Polk hosted a webcast regarding the SEC's new Say-on-Pay rule proposals, and the implications of these rules for companies in the 2011 proxy season.

Lawyers from our practice discussed:

• How to prepare boards and compensation committees for the new say-on-pay environment
  
  
• Reviewing the alternatives (and likely shareholder preferences) for the "frequency" vote
  
  
• New golden parachute disclosure: what's involved and is it likely to affect transaction structures and compensation arrangements?
  
  
• How to think about "nonbinding" votes and their impact on longer-term shareholder attitudes
