Short Statement: New Item 402(u) requires that registrants disclose the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the registrant, excluding the registrant’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) or any equivalent position; the annual total compensation of the registrant’s PEO or any equivalent position; and the ratio between these two amounts. Also, new Item 5.02(f)(1) of Form 8-K requires registrants that are disclosing PEO total compensation in accordance with Item 5.02 of Form 8-K to provide in that filing the updated pay ratio disclosure required by Item 402(u). For registrants that are permitted to provide their pay ratio disclosure in a filing made in accordance with Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, rather than in Form 10-K, the burden relating to the new disclosure requirements will be associated primarily with Form 10-K rather than Form 8-K because Item 5.02 provides a delayed method of filing information that would otherwise be required in the registrant’s annual report or proxy or information statement. We estimate that the regulation will result in approximately 10 new burden hours of in-house personnel time and approximately $1,330 in new costs for the services of outside professionals.
