Government Shutdown: 11th Hour Reprieve!

Whether you spent the weekend as outside counsel frantically finalizing registration statements in order to claim your spot in “the backlog review queue,” a corporate employee worrying whether delayed regulatory approvals could cost you budget or even your job, or a federal employee attempting to plan for a month or more without pay, it likely was welcome news that, with mere hours to spare on Saturday, our legislators came to a last-minute compromise to keep our government running.

Unfortunately, the SEC’s operating plan and Corp Fin’s guidance on how the Commission and Staff will operate during a shutdown could still become relevant, because the resolution only funds the government for the next 45 days – through November 17th. Let’s all hope for the best!
