The ClearBridge 100 Report for Mid-Cap Companies: Non-Employee Director Compensation

With the close of the decade, we at ClearBridge took the opportunity to conduct a ten-year lookback at the major shifts and trends in non-employee director compensation programs. Back in May, we published a report that presents data on non-employee director compensation programs for large-cap companies among the S&P 500. As a continuation of the ClearBridge 100 series, this report presents data for mid-cap companies among the S&P 400.

Over the past ten years, we have seen a steady increase in non-employee directors' level of responsibility and a corresponding shift in how directors are compensated. Director compensation, as well as board diversity, is increasingly becoming a focus for companies and shareholders to consider as demonstrated by director pay litigation and changes in institutional investor and proxy advisory firm policies over the past decade.
