Corp Fin Cleans Up Its Executive Compensation CDIs

Now that the SEC’s new rules went into effect over the weekend (ie. February 28th), Corp Fin cleaned up all of their Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations this morning that deal with the old Summary Compensation Table reporting scheme. It’s unusual to see CDI activity so early in the morning. That certainly woke me up!

Here’s the changes:

Withdrawn Question 119.04
Withdrawn Question 119.05
Withdrawn Question 119.11
Withdrawn Question 119.12
Withdrawn Question 119.15
Revised Question 119.16
New Question 119.24
Withdrawn Question 120.05
