California Love

It’s been gut-wrenching to watch the wildfire destruction that has occurred in California over the past several days. Our hearts go out to the nearly 8 million residents of L.A. and Ventura Counties who are facing dangerous conditions, and everyone else affected by the disaster. I think that even if they haven’t lived in California, many people across the country have some connection to the Los Angeles region. We have all been watching with sadness – as well as hope that people will come together to rebuild.

As of this morning, the SEC has not made a broadly applicable announcement about filing relief, but I expect they would encourage companies and other regulated entities to contact the Staff with questions and concerns and tell investors to watch out for scams, similar to their response to Hurricane Helene. We will continue to monitor developments.
