SEC Proposes Amendments and Guidance to E-Proxy |
October 28, 2009
Previously published on October 22, 2009
The SEC recently published proposed amendments to its "notice and access" model of proxy material distribution (also known as "e-proxy"). Under this model, companies and other soliciting persons must deliver to shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (a "Notice") in the exact form specified by the SEC and post proxy materials on a publicly accessible website. Soliciting persons can then elect to use a "notice-only" or a "full-set delivery" option (or some combination thereof) to distribute actual proxy materials to shareholders. Under the full-set delivery option, companies and other soliciting persons provide paper or e-mail copies of proxy materials as they did historically prior to adoption of e-proxy requirements.
