Rennie (3) Keywords: CEO pay; corporate governance; corporate restructuring; executive compensation; layoffs Abstract: Abstract The chief executive officers (CEOs) of firms announcing layoffs receive 22.8% more total pay in the subsequent year than other CEOs. The pay increases result almost entirely from increases in stock-based compensation and are found to persist. In addition, layoff announcements are accompanied by shareholder value increases averaging $40 million to $95 million. One-time labor cost savings from layoffs average $65 million. We conclude that CEOs receive pay increases following layoffs as rewards for past decisions and to motivate value-enhancing decisions in the future.

Abstract

For decades, CEOs influenced their own compensation by handpicking their boards. Today, shareholder activists are forcing boards to address excessive executive compensation. Shareholder litigation and shareholder proposals are the weapons of choice in a growing attack on excessive executive compensation. The decision in the In re The Walt Disney Co. Derivative Litigation case reminded compensation committees and boards of the importance o fan appropriate process including detailed information and utilization of independent experts when needed, in approving compensation arrangements. While the implications of this case's final decision on future shareholder litigation remains unclear, the court's critique of the Disney directors' conduct provides a clear road map for boards seeking to adopt best practices. Directors need to deal proactively with any deficiencies in executive compensation plans. In the executive compensation battle, shareholder activism is strengthening compensation committees.
