Thursday, February 25, 2021 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (Pacific Time)


The economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic vary greatly across industries.  When thinking about executive compensation, companies must consider their specific circumstances, while also taking into account how their actions will be perceived.  For industries and companies most negatively affected, there will likely be greater tolerance for compensation actions that address reductions in cash incentives or the loss of equity value.  In contrast, companies performing well, must ensure that they are not perceived as profiting from the crisis and ignoring the struggles of the broader community.

Given that the economic impact of COVID-19 will likely last through part of 2021, we will discuss how firms are adjusting their go-forward compensation strategy (e.g., approach to annual incentive and long-term incentives) in order to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 while also balancing the interests of management and stakeholders.


 Speaker:  Ryan Hourihan
