Salary has increased significantly and is out of line with non-executive chairmen in other global pharma companies. We appreciate that more work is required of the chairman during CEO transition but this is by nature temporary and so should not be justification for a permanent salary increase. The USD 1,000,000 on private jet expenses in 2011 is unnecessary.

Withhold

 

Withhold on the reelection of Mr Gibbons. He is independent under Nasdaq rules but is a former exec so his presence on the nomination & governance committee is not ideal. This is the same issue as we faced with the reelection of Jandernoa last year, on which we engaged with the company. Mr Jandernoa still serves on the compensation committee so there has been no progress. However, the board is majority independent (even excluding the former execs which the co classifies as independent) so will abstain on this and write again to the company. Next year can take a stronger stance and vote against.

Abstain

 

ISS recommends voting against on the grounds that the company has not appointed a third external director, but independence of committees and the board are decent versus small cap Israeli peers. We are abstaining rather than voting in favour because they have still not unbundled the resolution despite us flagging this last year. Have written to the company, they have no plans to increase independent representation. We will follow up again on unbundling.

Abstain

 

The company has not unbundled the election of these four directors. One of them is classified as non-independent but will serve on the audit committee, which is not best practice for a developed market. We could argue for a vote against on the grounds that the company is still not unbundling nor publishing agenda in English despite engagement on both issues, but since we have no concerns with the directors and the company has told us that Iris is in effect independent just not classified as such, we will abstain again. This was discussed with the company at recent meeting and we made our points about independence on the audit committee and unbundling.

Bonus brings the CEO’s salary to U$1.1m, in a year when the company only made U$55m of net profit. Admittedly, Aberkohen did agree to a 10% decrease in salary this year (and the total comp is not terrible in an Israeli context) but this arbitrary bonus (net income dropped 28%) appears to be a way to offset that.
