		<description><![CDATA[After all the speculation about effective dates of the new amendments to the proxy disclosure rules, the SEC on Tuesday published a set of Compliance &#038; Disclosure Interpretations that clarifies the effective date of the new amendments . . . . The most important clarification is that companies with a fiscal year ended before December 20, 2009 will not have to comply with the new rules this year. A company with a fiscal year ended on or after December 20, 2009 will be required to comply, unless the definitive proxy materials and the Form 10-K are filed before February 28, 2010. . . . You might review this previous post that includes insights from a recent Deloitte program on compliance with the new rules . . . . [to read more, click on the link above]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On December 16, 2009, the SEC adopted its amendments to the proxy disclosure rules – see the press release and the full 129-page release that includes the text of the rules. The release has led to some confusion about when the new rules are effective – the release mentions an effective date of February 28, 2010, but it does not specify exactly what that means. I agree with Mark Borges in the Proxy Disclosure Blog (subscription site), who assumes that the amendments apply to proxy statements and other applicable filings on or after that date. . . . In my last post, I mentioned one of the “sleepers” in the rules. But I think there may be another one. . . . [to read more, click on the link above]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, the SEC announced yesterday that it will hold an open meeting on Wednesday, December 16 for the purpose of adopting its proposed amendments to the proxy disclosure rules. . . . The two questions on everyone’s mind: When will the rules be effective? And what changes will the SEC make to the proposals? . . . . Assuming the final rules are similar to the proposals, many public companies will be busy over the next few weeks preparing for the new disclosures. . . . . There are some “sleepers” too . . . .[to read more, click on the link above]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I reported previously, the SEC enforcement staff is “loaded for bear,” stepping up its enforcement activities to go after violations of the securities laws. Some recent stories reinforce that it is more important than ever to guard against these violations . . . . The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the SEC has greatly expanded its insider trading investigations of broker-dealers and hedge funds . . . . There is no reason to think that the current investigations are limited to broker-dealers and hedge funds, and the trail could easily lead the SEC staff to company personnel. . . .
