Our guests – Skadden Arps’ Brian Breheny, Uber’s Keir Gumbs, Vinson & Elkins’ Sarah Fortt and Mayor Brown’s Candace Jackson – tackle a range of “D&I” disclosure topics, including:
- What disclosures are required by the SEC? What does the Nasdaq’s proposed board diversity standard look like?
- What types of disclosures are investors looking for? Which investors are leading the charge for D&I disclosure?
- Do the proxy advisors have a position on D&I disclosure?
- To begin to craft this type of disclosure for the first time, what questions should you be asking to get a strategy together?
- What are the frameworks, the standards, out there that folks can look at to get ideas?
- What do the proxy / 10-K disclosures already out there look like / where within the 10-K & proxy might this disclosure be located?
- Who should be on the disclosure team for this?
- Should interested investors – your larger shareholders – be involved in reviewing a draft of the disclosure?
- Where might this type of disclosure be made outside of SEC filings?
- What about board oversight? Where should that lie? Should committee charters be updated?
