SEC Adopts Amendments to Rules on Proxy Voting Advice
– Lynn Jokela
Yesterday, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules governing proxy advisors and it also issued supplemental guidance concerning proxy voting responsibilities of investment advisers – many have been waiting for rules on proxy advisors for years. Mike Melbinger provides some initial thoughts in his blog and Liz blogged about the amendments on TheCorporateCounsel.net.
We’ll be posting memos – likely lots of them – in our “Proxy Advisors” Practice Area. And, we’ll be covering the rule amendments and discussing impacts of the amendments at our upcoming “Proxy Disclosure” & “Executive Pay” Conferences – which will be held entirely virtually over three days – September 21 – 23. We’ve offered a Live Nationwide Video Webcast for our conferences for years – one of the only events to do so – and we’re excited to build on that platform and make your digital experience better than ever. Here’s the registration information.
