Davis Polk partner Ning Chiu and ExxonMobil Executive Counsel David Kern were featured on TheCorporateCounsel.net’s “Timely Takes Podcast.” In the episode, they discuss ExxonMobil’s new retail voting program and explain what led ExxonMobil to create this program and seek no-action relief from the SEC. They also cover the basics of the program, the feedback that’s been received so far, how investors opt in and out, the process each year during proxy season, and what other companies should consider if they’re interested in creating a similar program.
