Proxy Statement Reading Guide: Parsing a Peer's Summary Compensation Table
A reading guide that turns a peer CEO's public DEF 14A proxy statement into a benchmark you can actually read. It walks you through finding the filing on free SEC EDGAR full-text search, then teaches the Summary Compensation Table column by column, the footnotes where one-time awards and adjustments hide, the CD&A narrative that explains pay philosophy, and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table that ties disclosed grants back to the equity figures. An annotated SAMPLE proxy excerpt shows every technique on a marked-up example. It teaches the reading skill on public-company and nonprofit disclosures; you supply the peers and pull the figures yourself.
