DragonGC's Compensation Clawbacks Report Identifies Several Clawback Triggers and Disclosure Trends
GREENWICH, Conn., June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DragonGC today released its latest research report on compensation clawbacks which examines how companies are discussing non-financial restatement-related compensation recoupment policies in their company disclosures. DragonGC analyzed the compensation clawback disclosures of S&P 500 companies that had filed individual disclosures within the last twelve months as of April 28, 2024 (a universe of 401 companies) and identified several key findings.
"With the SEC now requiring compensation clawbacks related to financial restatements, we were eager to see how many companies are not just complying with requirements but are going above and beyond," said James Palmiter, CEO and co-founder of DragonGC. "The results of this report clearly demonstrate that companies are not just complying, but over 70% of them are exceeding requirements."
DragonGC identified several non-financial restatement-related clawback triggers that S&P 500 companies have integrated into their compensation clawback policy disclosures, outlining six popular triggers in the report.
