On November 7th, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance announced that it has implemented an intake system for Rule 14a-8 submissions and related correspondence. The Division receives requests from companies to provide informal, non-binding staff views concerning companies’ intentions to exclude shareholder proposals from their proxy statements under Exchange Act Rule 14a-8.
Further details on the processing of Rule 14a-8 submissions are available on the Division of Corporation Finance: Informal Procedures Regarding Shareholder Proposals webpage on sec.gov. Rule 14a-8 submissions and related correspondence now must be submitted using the SEC’s online Shareholder Proposal form since emailed materials will no longer be accepted.
Interested parties may direct inquiries related to this announcement to the Division’s Office of Chief Counsel via email to shareholderproposals@sec.gov or phone at (202) 551-3500.
