Hi Amy,

Feel free to use my comments in broad context, but please do not attribute directly to me or AB:

We evaluate directors on a variety of factors, so it is difficult to say at this time, without seeing the specific ballots, if we will withhold/vote against more directors.   I realize this doesn't give you a lot to go by, but hopefully a little insight, none the less.

On another note, does CII have any information on proxy voting process best practices?    We're taking a close look at our processes and it would be great to gain some insight from others.

Warm regards,

Linda

Subject: [ciidiscussion] Voting against compensation committee directors

CII staff seeks a better understanding of what drives members' votes and what trends to anticipate for the 2014 proxy season. With that in mind:  Do you expect in 2014 to withhold/vote against more compensation committee directors at companies that had poor say-on-pay results in one or more years in the past?  And if so, why?

Thanks very much!

Amy
