We are offering today’s webcast on TheCorporateCounsel.net, “The SEC’s Proposal to Simplify Filer Status & Reduce Reporting Burdens,” at no charge, even to non-members of TheCorporateCounsel.net. Current members automatically have access. Non-members can register for the free stream here.

Tune in at 2:00 pm Eastern to hear about the SEC’s proposed amendments to simplify the filer status framework and expand eligibility for scaled disclosure and other accommodations currently available to smaller or newly public companies (many of which relate to executive compensation disclosure requirements). Our panel includes seasoned practitioners and senior SEC staff:

– Luna Bloom, Associate Director (Legal and Regulatory Policy), SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance
– Howard Dicker, Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
– Raquel Fox, Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
– Dave Lynn, Partner, Goodwin Procter LLP, and Senior Editor, TheCorporateCounsel.net

They will discuss the SEC’s proposed rule changes and explore the practical implications of the new filer definitions and expanded accommodations. Topics include:

1. Overview and Policy Objectives of the Proposal
2. Revisions to Filer Classifications and Definitions
3. Expanded Accommodations and Scaled Disclosure
4. Initial and Annual Determinations of Filer Status; Transition Rules
5. Requests for Comments and Potential Changes to the Proposed Rules
6. Considerations for Companies Considering Scaled Disclosure
7. Relationship of the Proposal to Other SEC Initiatives

As usual, we will apply for CLE credit in all applicable states (with the exception of SC and NE, which require advance notice) for this 60-minute webcast. You must submit your state and license number prior to or during the live program. Attendees must participate in the live webcast and fully complete all the CLE credit survey links during the program. You will receive a CLE certificate from our CLE provider when your state issues approval, typically within 30 days of the webcast. All credits are pending state approval.

This program will also be eligible for on-demand CLE credit when the archive is posted, typically within 48 hours of the original air date. Instructions on how to qualify for on-demand CLE credit will be posted on the archive page.

If the Reg Flex Agenda is any indication, there’s more to come from the SEC and Corp Fin Staff, and there will be no shortage of things to talk about at our October Proxy Disclosure and Executive Compensation Conferences. Don’t miss our discounted “early bird” rate, which covers in-person and virtual this year. It expires on July 24th!
