Goldman Sachs8-K: Governance change

Goldman Sachs' executive pay plan opposed by nearly 30% of shareholder votes.

Read at SEC EDGAR

What happened

The company's 'Say on Pay' proposal passed but faced significant opposition, with nearly 64 million votes cast against it. This high level of dissent signals shareholder concern over compensation practices and puts pressure on the Compensation Committee to re-evaluate its strategy, potentially triggering a review of compensation consultants and benchmarking tools.
