45% A summary at the beginning of the proxy (if included)
43% The summary compensation table
38% The CD&A discussion of long-term incentives or equity awards
26% The description of directors’/nominees’ skills and qualifications
24% A summary at the beginning of the CD&A (if included)
24% Any description of shareholder engagement efforts
