Section 228D Guidance
The Division also revised two segments of the guidance in Section 228D, Item 402(v)—Pay Versus Performance. The first segment, 228D.01, advises a registrant, in cases where the registrant changes its fiscal year during the period of time covered by the Item 402(v) Pay Versus Performance table, to: 1) provide the disclosure required by Item 402(v) for the stub period; and 2) refrain from adjusting figures to reflect a rate based on a full year or restating compensation. The second segment, 228D.02, is a scenario that provides guidance for a registrant emerging from bankruptcy and preparing its first Pay Versus Performance disclosure for inclusion in its 2023 proxy statement.
