Directors' remuneration in FTSE 100 companies — the story of the 2014 AGM season so far
This review focuses on how shareholders are responding to the new style directors' remuneration reports and also includes some preliminary findings from our main report on directors' remuneration in FTSE 100 companies which will be published in September. There are some interesting trends emerging which suggest that shareholders are successfully influencing how directors' remuneration is structured . It is encouraging that this has tended to be the result of consultation prior to the vote rather than shareholders finding it necessary to use the vote to effect a change.
