This Client Alert looks at the final rules impacting proxy advisors that the SEC adopted July 22, 2020. The Client Alert discusses the SEC action to codify that "solicitation" includes providing proxy vote recommendations, modifications of the anti-fraud provision to address failure of proxy advisors to disclose material information, the implications of these changes for proxy advisors, and details of the "safe harbor" proxy advisors can use to avoid having to comply with the proxy voting rules.
The final rules are effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. However, the final rules do not apply to proxy advisors until December 1, 2021. Click here to download the Client Alert in PDF. Comments are closed.
