2020 Aggregate Share-Based Compensation
Research Report | By James Garriga
We are pleased to present our fourth study of aggregate share-based compensation. This report covers the three-year period from 2017 to 2019, and includes the following:
- Company-wide annual grant rates, measured based on annual share usage and fair value transfer (“FVT”).
- Overhang, measured based on potential share dilution as well as the fair value of outstanding grants.
- Frequency and prevalence of long-term incentive plan share requests.
- Allocation of long-term incentive pools to the CEO and other proxy officers (“Top 5”).
Key findings from our research, focused on 300 companies spread across five industry groups, are included within the report.
