CBIS For
CalPERS For
CalPERS: CalPERS believes severance agreements that provide benefits with a total present value exceeding 2.99 should be ratified by shareowners. CalPERS is not seeking to limit severance payouts, but we do believe that shareowners should have the ability to approve payouts that exceed market standards.

CalPERS files shareowner resolutions at companies that 1) have poor financial performance, 2) have weak corporate governance practices, and 3) fail to respond to other attempts at engagement. Their proposals generally receive a high degree of support due to CalPERS's reputation and its focus on widely accepted principles of corporate governance.
