In anticipation of the upcoming reporting season, we highlight rule changes, guidance, and trends for public companies to consider in preparing annual report and proxy statement disclosures in 2021. During 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted many rule changes and provided public companies with useful guidance on various topics, including information related to impacts on companies from COVID-19.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2020, adopted final amendments to Rule 14a-8, which governs the process for shareholder proposals submitted for inclusion in a company’s proxy statement. The amendments will increase the eligibility requirements for submitting and resubmitting shareholder proposals.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued rule updates and guidance in 2019 that are intended to simplify certain public reporting requirements, clarify the staff’s expectations with respect to no-action relief for certain shareholder proposals and significantly revise the staff’s process for responding to those no-action requests.
