Compared to recent years, support for executive pay programs is expected to rise for 2024 proposals, as compensation plans received improved support in 2023. During the pandemic, some public company boards used special retention awards and other measures to increase incentive payouts, which resulted in criticisms from institutional investors and proxy advisory firms (resulting is lower support for executive pay programs). Early 2024 voting shows that say-on-pay support is close to returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Under changes to Form N-PX finalized by the SEC in 2022, institutional investors will need to disclose their say on pay vote (as well as other compensation-related votes). The 2024 proxy season will be the first subjected to this new level of transparency as the rule became effective for votes cast after June 30, 2023 (most votes take place in the first half of the year).
