Orrick is hosting a webinar on Refreshing Your Clawback Policies & Provisions: In Response to SEC and DOJ Actions on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. During this webinar we’ll discuss: new requirements, policies, and investor expectations; practical advice on how to operationalize clawbacks within and outside of the US; whether companies should go beyond what the SEC requires and allow for clawbacks for misconduct that does not result in a restatement and enforcement considerations outside of the US: legal basis for clawbacks; procedural requirements and limitations on recoupment of salary and compensation; and limitations on any off setting against future salary and compensation.
