After years of sitting on the shelf, the pay vs. performance rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday.
The SEC reopened comment on the rule in January, its first action related to pay vs. performance since an initial comment period in 2015.
