Problem
Public companies are required to disclose information about their governance structure, including information about their board of directors and its committees. Public companies also must disclose information about their directors and executives, including information about their background and qualifications and their compensation.
Do you think this governance information is important to investors when they make investment or voting decisions (for example, at the annual meeting) or do investors just care about whether their investment goes up in value? Why or why not.
Do you think companies take certain corporate governance actions (or fail to take them) because of the required disclosure? Why or why not and provide examples.
