Williams Comments on Glass, Lewis Report Giving Post Properties 'F'
Grade ATLANTA, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- John A. Williams, founder,
director and largest individual shareholder of Post Properties ,
today commented on the analysis by the respected independent proxy
advisory service, Glass, Lewis & Co., which reviews
compensation arrangements and benchmarks a company on a
"pay-for-performance" basis against groups of peer companies. As of
May 12, 2004, of the 98 REITs where Glass, Lewis rated
"pay-for-performance", Post Properties was one of only five
companies to receive the lowest grade of an "F" and the only
multi-family REIT to receive such a grade. Mr. Williams said, "We
note that Glass, Lewis recognized that Post Properties'
non-executive Chairman 'appears to be receiving an outsized portion
of the overall director pay pool' and that they 'are surprised by
the magnitude of the compensation to Mr. Goddard.'" Mr. Williams
continued, "However, we are disappointed with the Glass, Lewis
recommendation on Shareholder Proposal 3. Shareholder Proposal 3 is
about good corporate governance. We urge all shareholders to act
now and vote FOR Shareholder Proposal 3, which will provide greater
transparency with respect to compensation paid to directors and
give shareholders a voice in making that determination. This
shareholder proposal is based on the same philosophy as the Glass,
Lewis 'pay-for-performance' review. Additionally, Shareholder
Proposal 3 holds directors accountable for poor performance by
requiring annual shareholder approval for directors' compensation,
an important concept that already commonly practiced in the U.K.
and widely followed throughout Europe. Shareholder Proposal 3 is a
good idea whose time has come for shareholders in the U.S.,"
concluded Mr. Williams. Further information about Shareholder
Proposal 3 can be found at http://www.postshareholders.com/. If you
