According to Holloway, director compensation structures at publicly traded companies remain fairly standardized, with most typically offering:
;Annual board retainers composed of approximately 40% cash and 60% equity, with no separate meeting fees.;
;Full-value equity awards granted based on fixed-value rather than fixed-share amounts, with short vesting periods (immediate or one year).;
;Board retainers that do not include additional compensation for committee service, except for committee chairs, who receive retainers recognizing their added responsibilities, time commitments and heightened scrutiny.;
“Director compensation approaches at privately held companies are much more varied than at publicly traded companies,” Holloway said.
