Palo Alto Networks Shareholders Reject Executive Pay for 7th Time Since 2015

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 2

A majority of Palo Alto Networks shareholders have opposed the cybersecurity company’s executive compensation packages seven times since 2015, extending a long-running revolt over CEO and senior leadership pay.
Those votes came through non-binding say-on-pay resolutions, which let investors register disapproval without forcing the company to change compensation plans.
The repeated pushback stands out because it has persisted despite a surge in Palo Alto Networks shares, showing investor frustration with pay levels has outlasted strong stock performance.
