In its recently released 2006 Top 250 Report, a summary of long-term incentive practices for executives at the 250 largest U.S. companies, Frederic W. Cook & Co. reports that granting practices for long-term incentives are beginning to stabilize in the wake of the adoption of Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002.
Key findings from the report include the following:
- The prevalence of LTI grant types continues to change (including a shift away from stock options towards restricted stock and performance awards), but at a slower pace than last year.
- Stock option variations (such as "reloads" or "premium" options) have largely disappeared, with "plain vanilla" options the flavor of choice.
- Median long-term incentive values for CEOs have barely budged for the last five years, with 75th percentile grants flat after several years of decline.
