The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Release No. 34-65663 (the Release) requesting comment on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s proposed amendments to its proposed rule change regarding communications with the public. In July, FINRA proposed new FINRA Rule 2210 (the Rule) regarding communications with the public. FINRA proposed that the Rule replace the current six communication categories with three new categories: institutional communication, retail communication, and correspondence, and that the rule prescribe approval, review, record-keeping, filing, and content requirements to such communications. A summary of the proposal can be found in the July 22, 2011 edition of Corporate and Financial Weekly Digest.
