The SEC recently released its Spring 2024 Reg. Flex Agenda, which is a list of upcoming SEC rule making activities, including both rule proposals and adoption of final rules. The Reg. Flex Agenda includes target dates for SEC action. The dates of actual actions may be before or after the date identified in the Reg. Flex Agenda. The majority of SEC rule actions affecting reporting companies target April 2025, when a new administration may be in place, which may ultimately affect the content and timing of the final and proposed rules.
The Reg. Flex Agenda disclosed that the SEC is targeting April 2025 for release of final rules relating to the amendment of certain Rule 14a-8 bases for exclusion of shareholder proposals, as discussed in our July 2022 blog post. Other new rules or amendments to existing rules that may be of interest to reporting companies are identified in the table below.
