<p>Dear Chairman Crapo and Ranking Member Brown:</p>
<p>Thank you for holding the hearing on June 28, 2018 on “Legislative Proposals to Examine Corporate Governance.” Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) thanks the Committee for its commitment to ensuring that corporate governance in the United States is robust and works to support our nation’s capital markets and economy. To this end, ISS respectfully submits this statement, as well as the enclosed document, for inclusion in the hearing record in order to help clarify misconceptions and to correct misinformation about ISS and the proxy advisory industry that were raised during last week’s hearing.</p>
