Glass Lewis Opens Enrollment for 2016 Issuer Data Report Program
On January 5, 2016, Glass Lewis announced that it was opening enrollment for its 2016 Issuer Data Report (“IDR”) program, “a service that enables public companies to access, for free, a data-only version of the Glass Lewis Proxy Paper report prior to Glass Lewis completing its analysis and recommendations relating to the annual general meeting of the subject companies.” While companies’ IDRs would not contain Glass Lewis’s voting recommendations, they would include “key data points” that the proxy advisory firm uses in its corporate governance analysis, including “information on directors, auditors and their fees, summary compensation data and equity plans.”
