Are You Ready for Electronic Proxy Delivery?

December 15, 2008

For most registrants, the 2009 annual meeting proxy season will involve a departure from past practice. In late 2007, the SEC amended its rules pertaining to the delivery of proxy materials. The amended rules provide registrants with two compliance alternatives for delivering materials: a notice only option; or a full set delivery option. In 2008, only large accelerated filers were required to comply with the new rules. Commencing Jan. 1, 2009, all registrants must comply with these rules.
