How to Draft “Directors & Officers Bio” Disclosure for the Proxy

As part of your proxy statement filed with the SEC, you will include certain biographical information about your directors, director nominees and executive officers.

At the 14:05 mark, Brown-Forman’s Leah Huddleston and Mayer Brown’s Candace Jackson join us to discuss:

1. Do you benchmark who your “executive officers” are? Compare them to peers within the same industry, etc.?
2. How frequently do you assess – and how do you document – whom are your executive officers?
3. How much do you let the insiders get involved in what their bio says, particularly the five years-worth of business?
4. How about disclosing board service for private companies or non-profits? What’s your philosophy?
