Shearman & Sterling LLP Survey Methodology | 97
We reviewed the corporate governance and compensation
practices of 100 of the largest US public, non-controlled
companies that have equity securities listed on the
NYSE or NASDAQ. These companies, which we selected
based on a combination of their latest annual revenues
and market capitalizations, are referred to as the
"Top 100 Companies." Generally, we derived the data
in this Survey from the annual proxy statements,
compensation committee charters and corporate
governance guidelines posted on the companies'
websites available as of June 1, 2016 (except where
otherwise noted).
