On June 12, 2025, the SEC announced its withdrawal of previously proposed amendments to Rule 14a-8.
The amendments, proposed in June 2022, would have essentially made it more difficult for companies to exclude shareholder proposals on the grounds of substantial implementation, duplication, and resubmission. This action was among a total of 14 such withdrawals, with the other 13 pertaining to matters overseen by the Divisions of Investment Management and Trading and Markets.
