Board Briefing: Tariffs, Targets, and Transparency – Navigating External Shocks in Executive Compensation

Wednesday, May 14, 12:00pm - 1:00pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

As global trade tensions resurface and new tariffs emerge, boards are once again grappling with how to account for unexpected macroeconomic disruptions in executive compensation plans.

Corporate Board Member Network and FW Cook invite you to a Board Briefing session to explore how public company boards can navigate this challenge—proactively, strategically and transparently—without compromising shareholder confidence.

Join fellow directors to discuss real-world examples and unpack how boards and management teams are addressing questions such as:

What constitutes a legitimate performance impact from external shocks like tariffs?
How can companies prepare in advance—structuring performance metrics (e.g., net income) to allow for flexibility without relying on discretion?
How should boards respond when macroeconomic shocks hit mid-cycle and aren’t already built into the plan?
Where’s the line between smart planning and creating a perception of discretionary “safety nets”?

You’ll walk away with practical considerations for avoiding unintentional precedent-setting, maintaining fairness, and upholding credibility with shareholders—all while managing performance in an increasingly unpredictable geopolitical environment.
