SEC Advisory Committee to Examine Disclosure, Board Diversity, Capital Raising and Equity Market Structure Initiatives
The SEC announced the agenda for its October 5, 2016 meeting of its Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies. The advisory committee will specifically examine: (i) Regulation S-K disclosure requirements; (ii) research regarding corporate board diversity; (iii) outreach to smaller companies about capital raising; and (iv) updates from the Division of Trading and Markets on equity market structure initiatives, a tick-size pilot, along with the treatment of so-called "finders" that assist companies in capital raising activities.
The October 5 meeting is open to the public and it will be webcast live on the SEC website.
