The SEC All-Stars: Proxy Season Insights at the Proxy Disclosure Conference

This week, I am giving you a preview of the topics that I plan to address at our upcoming conferences: the “2023 Practical ESG Conference,” the “2023 Proxy Disclosure Conference” and the “20th Annual Executive Compensation Conference.”

The upcoming proxy season promises to be yet another year of change. We have so many SEC rulemakings to take into consideration as we prepare annual reports and proxy statements, while also paying attention to evolving investor concerns. With all of this brewing for 2024, you definitely do not want to miss our September Conferences.

I look forward to joining the SEC All-Stars for our hour-long Proxy Season Insights panel on Wednesday, September 20. The All-Stars joining me on this panel are Sonia Barros, Meredith Cross, Alan Dye and Lona Nallengara. We will be covering a wide range of topics, including:

– Use of Rule 10b5-1 plans and insider trading policy updates
– Share repurchase programs
– Cyber disclosures & governance
– Board diversity requirements & disclosures
– Beneficial ownership modernization and Section 16/Form 144 developments

I plan to address the topic of share repurchase programs, where the implementation of the SEC’s new daily repurchase disclosure rules will be a significant consideration for many companies as we go into the annual reporting season.

This SEC All-Stars panel, along with the rest of the panels at the “Proxy Disclosure & 20th Annual Executive Compensation Conferences” will provide you with the guidance that you need to successfully navigate the proxy season, so I encourage you to register today. Here is the full agenda – and here is more information about our expert speakers. In addition, be sure to check out the agenda for our “2023 Practical ESG Conference” – which is happening virtually on Tuesday, September 19th. This event will help you avoid ESG landmines and anticipate opportunities. You can bundle the Conferences together for a discount.
