Comcast shareholder proposals
What shareholders asked Comcast to do, and how the funds inside American retirement plans voted on it — with the filing behind every vote.
18 June 2025 · put on the ballot by shareholder · Executive pay
Should the gap between Comcast’s top executive pay and its typical worker’s pay count for something?
Shareholders asked the company to disclose the ratio between its highest-paid executive and its median employee — and, in the versions filed as a “pay ratio factor”, to take that ratio into account when the board sets executive pay rather than treating it as a footnote.
“Consider "CEO pay ratio factor" in executive compensation”

Should the person who runs Comcast also chair the board that supervises them?
Shareholders asked the company to require that the chair of the board be an independent director rather than the chief executive, so that the body overseeing management is not led by the person being overseen.
“Adopt policy for an independent chair”
