- What it does
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing amendments to modernize certain rules related to proxy solicitations. The proposed amendments would, among other things, eliminate the requirement that registrants deliver an annual report to security holders, eliminate the delivery deadline when documents are incorporated by reference into a proxy statement, eliminate the requirement to file soliciting material regarding certain exempt solicitations, and shorten the minimum broker search period for proxy solicitations. The proposed amendments are intended to update our rules to account for developments since their adoption or last amendment and to simplify compliance for registrants.
