Source: SEC director filings · About the data ▾
Every board seat comes from insider filings (Forms 3, 4 and 5) that directors file with the SEC, for companies listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq and Cboe. A seat is shown if the director filed for that company in the 15 months before the newest data; directors file at least yearly when they receive stock. Investment funds are left out. In a spot check of 20 random companies, 95% of directors shown were named in the company's latest proxy statement, which is linked on every company. Foreign companies that don't file these forms, private companies and nonprofits are not included. A line between two people means they served on the same board. It doesn't mean they know each other well.
