Sample Model D&O Questions for the New SEC Rules
In response to the SEC’s new proxy disclosure requirements, Dave Lynn and Mark Borges have just finished sample model questions for your D&O questionnaire (and much more analysis) as part of the Winter 2010 issue of “Proxy Disclosure Updates.” Here is a blurred copy of that 20-page issue to give you a sense of it.
You will receive a full copy of this issue, which is posted on CompensationDisclosure.com, immediately upon taking advantage of a no-risk trial to Lynn, Borges & Romanek’s “Executive Compensation Service” for 2010 (which includes the just-mailed 2010 version of Lynn, Borges & Romanek’s “Executive Compensation Disclosure Treatise and Reporting Guide”).
FINRA Adopts New Private Offering Rule on Use of Proceeds
And here is one from Allen Matkins: “Private offerings of securities by a FINRA member firm or a control entity must comply with new disclosure and filing requirements and limitations on the use of proceeds. FINRA adopted new Rule 5122 to require FINRA member firms, and associated persons that engage in certain private placements of its own securities or the securities of a control entity, to comply with certain disclosure and filing requirements and limitations on the use of proceeds. The private placements subject to the new rule are known as Member Private Offerings or MPOs. FINRA adopted Rule 5122 to address concerns with regard to conflicts of interest in MPOs. Traditionally, MPOs have been excluded from the scope of existing FINRA rules that generally applied to public offerings.”
