Overview
This report analyzes the design of long-term inventive (“LTI”) plans for each of the ClearBridge 200 companies.
Long-term incentives are compensation vehicles that operate over an extended timeframe (typically greater than one year). Long-term incentives are designed to achieve multiple objectives, such as aligning executives with shareholders, motivating executives to focus on achieving long-term performance goals, and retaining executives over a multi-year period.
The design features of each incentive award were reviewed based on proxy statement disclosure for each of the ClearBridge 200 companies.
