ISS urges Apple shareholders to vote for CEO Tim Cook, other executives’ pay packages appeared on economictimes.indiatimes.com by Reuters.
Apple will hold its annual shareholder meeting on March 10.
The ISS stance, published in a research note on Friday, comes after the iPhone maker had slashed Cook’s 2023 compensation target by more than 40% to $49 million. Cook’s salary will also depend more on how well the company’s shares perform relative to market peers, according to regulatory filings by the company.
“Continued monitoring of the pay program is warranted to ensure that pay magnitude is supported by continued strong performance by the company,” ISS said in a note.
The proxy advisory firm also recommended investors vote for proposals including a resolution demanding a report on median gender and racial pay gaps, and an amendment of proxy access right, both of which were opposed by the company’s management.
Support for the proposal requesting a report on the median gender and racial pay gap is warranted as it would allow investors to compare and measure the progress of the company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives and gauge how it is managing related risks, ISS said.

The proposed amendment to the proxy access right would enhance the company’s existing right for shareholders while maintaining safeguards on the nomination process, the note added. Traditionally, shareholder proposals that receive more than about 25% support of votes cast tend to urge the board to make changes, according to corporate governance experts.
During last year’s annual meeting, Apple shareholders had voted down a proposal requesting that the company report on its gender and racial pay gaps, with 66.4% of votes cast against it.
