Case Study

An existing CEO contract required consideration to obtain agreement and align interests across the executive team. The company was challenged to set cash-based incentive plans for three to five years, which is challenging under Canadian tax rules.

Gaps to market were identified. A cost analysis helped to determine the required spend to close those gaps over time. We flagged other design features to monitor including the potential introduction of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) for directors and increases to committee chair compensation.
