Companies including Altria Group, CVS Health and Intel are the latest to have failed say on pay so far this proxy season, as investors zero in on longtime compensation issues that have been magnified by the coronavirus pandemic.

Additionally, traditional pain points for investors, such as one-time awards and lack of pay-for-performance alignment, are driving negative vote campaigns that have led to weak say-on-pay vote results for some companies this year.
