Risk Metrics Group, PROXY Governance, INC., and Egan-Jones Announce Support for ALL of Consolidated-Tomoka Shareholder Proposals
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex: CTO) stated today that the Company has received letters from David Winters of Wintergreen Advisers, LLC, dated April 7, 2010, and April 12, 2010 and that the Board is aware of Mr. Winters' comments related to the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.
As stated in our 2010 Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 28, 2010, the Board believes that the Company has proposed for shareholder approval an equity plan that is in keeping with current best practices for most U.S. public companies and that provides for a number of alternative forms of equity compensation. It was determined that the Board needed to retain flexibility as compensation trends develop over the anticipated ten-year term of the plan. The Compensation Committee retained Towers Watson (formerly Watson Wyatt) as an independent consultant to develop its compensation plans. The Compensation Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, and the Board of Directors take their obligations with respect to the administration of compensation plans very seriously.
The proxy advisory firms—Risk Metrics, PROXY Governance, INC., and Egan-Jones--have issued their reports supporting all of the proposals in the Company's proxy statement.
