Institutional Shareholder Services, a provider of corporate governance solutions to the global financial community, announced this week that it has acquired Incentive Lab, a data and analytics firm. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Established in 2009, Incentive Lab offers detailed and comparable data on incentive awards; full details on performance metrics, goals, and structures; and a host of other data, including vesting schedules and performance periods. Based on this detailed data, Incentive Lab has developed approaches to value and benchmark performance-based compensation, assess the rigor of performance targets, and understand how changes in plan design affect likely award outcomes.
