Say-on-Pay regulatory
"Say-on-Pay"
A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.
broker non-vote regulatory
"BROKER NON-VOTE"
A broker non-vote happens when a brokerage firm holds shares in street name for a client but does not cast a ballot on a particular shareholder item because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote that matter. Think of it like a person who owns a ticket but the ticket-holder refuses to vote on some issues; the share counts for ownership but not for that vote, which can affect whether proposals reach the required number of votes or a quorum.
non-binding advisory resolution regulatory
"non-binding advisory resolution relating to executive compensation"
A non-binding advisory resolution is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion or recommendation but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a public survey: management can ignore it, but a strong vote for or against signals investor sentiment, can sway board behavior or policy decisions, and may influence market perception and future, potentially binding, actions.
