Research on CEO Compensation trends over the years has shown that awards have more often than not hinged upon some performance metric. Additionally, plan-based bonuses and performance incentives have seen a higher, widespread usage, while discretionary bonuses still remain few and far between. Furthermore, Knowlton (2018) states that, as the voices of activists and institutional investors have become louder and more pronounced, pressure has continually mounted upon boards to align the pay of CEOs with the long-term company strategy, as well as the interests and returns of shareholders. As a result, a majority of large companies highlight some form of shareholder engagement in the annual proxy statement, with discussions on executive pay a principal engagement topic.
