TD Ameritrade 2019 Proxy and Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors Recommended by the Board of Directors Changes for Calendar Year 2019 As part of its annual review of director compensation, the Corporate Governance Committee requested that Semler Brossy conduct an independent review of the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. Semler Brossy conducted an in-depth assessment of each element of compensation and of the compensation program structure in comparison to the companies in the fiscal year 2018 peer group used for executive compensation purposes. Semler Brossy’s review found that the cash compensation paid to our non-employee directors was consistent generally with the median paid in our peer group, but the amount of our equity retainer was below the fiscal year 2018 peer group median. The amount of equity retainer had not been increased since 2010. Following the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, on November 16, 2018, the board of directors approved a $15,000 increase in the annual equity retainer for our non-employee directors (other than the chairman), from $130,000 to $145,000. This increase resulted in bringing the annual equity retainer to approximately the peer group median. There were no other changes to the terms of the compensation for non-employee directors, including no changes to vesting, proration and deferral. As noted above, Mr. Moglia is compensated pursuant to a non-employee chairman term sheet that provides for payment of his annual retainer in either cash or a combination of cash and equity as agreed upon between Mr. Moglia and the board of directors. For calendar year 2019, Mr. Moglia will receive 50% of his annual retainer in cash and 50% in the form of RSUs. The total amount of the annual retainer was not changed. Consistent with the RSUs granted to other non-employee directors, Mr. Moglia’s RSUs will be scheduled to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to his continued service as a director through the vesting date.
