Supplemental Materials: SEC's Proposing Release: Enhancement of Emerging Growth Company Accommodations and Simplification of Filer Status for Reporting Companies (5/26) and Fact Sheet

On May 19, 2026, the SEC proposed amendments that would simplify the filer status framework and expand eligibility for scaled disclosure and other accommodations currently available to smaller or newly public companies so that all but the largest public companies could take advantage of them. Our panel of seasoned practitioners and senior SEC staff will discuss the SEC's proposed rule changes and explore the practical implications of the new filer definitions and expanded accommodations.

Hear from these experts:

Luna Bloom, Associate Director (Legal and Regulatory Policy), SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance
Howard Dicker, Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
Raquel Fox, Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
Dave Lynn, Partner, Goodwin Procter LLP, and Senior Editor, TheCorporateCounsel.net

Among other topics, this program will cover:

Overview and Policy Objectives of the Proposal
Revisions to Filer Classifications and Definitions
Expanded Accommodations and Scaled Disclosure
Initial and Annual Determinations of Filer Status; Transition Rules
Requests for Comments and Potential Changes to the Proposed Rules
Considerations for Companies Considering Scaled Disclosure
Relationship of the Proposal to Other SEC Initiatives
