Event
Executive Compensation Workshop: Rethinking Pay for Performance
On behalf of the Berkeley Center for Law, Business and the Economy (BCLBE), a research center at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, you are invited to our upcoming event exploring new approaches to executive compensation.
Friday, September 26, 2008
8:30 am 1:30 pm
Boalt Hall Goldberg Room, UC Berkeley School of Law
Executive compensation continues to attract considerable attention, much of it critical, from shareholders, the press, and Congress. The ability of bank CEOs to take home large pay packages as subprime markets (and banks) melted down strengthened the widely held view that CEO pay is not adequately tied to performance.
This half day conference will bring together leading academics and compensation practitioners to help directors explore out-of-the-box ways to better tie CEO pay to performance. Topics to be addressed include:
* How share-price based incentive plans should be structured to provide optimal incentives, including the use of stock vs. options, and the desirability of performance-vesting, indexing, holding periods, and restrictions on unwinding of equity incentives.
* The role and structure of non-share-price incentive plans (e.g., plans using metrics such as operating performance and achievement of strategic objectives), including 1) which nonshare-price metrics drive shareholder value; 2) the appropriate time horizon; and 3) accounting for industry cyclicality.
Speakers: Jesse Fried, UC Berkeley School of Law; James E. Kim, Frederic Cook & Co.; Graef Bud Crystal, University of California, Berkeley; David Chun, Chief Executive Officer, Equilar; Ira Kay, Practice Director - Compensation Practice, Watson Wyatt Worldwide; Kevin Murphy, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California.
Attendance is by Registration only. Three (3) hours of CLE credit available.
* Early Registration due by September 12 $395
* Regular Registration - $495
