Insight
On March 1, the SEC approved an NYSE rule change that eliminates the requirement that listed companies file hard copies of proxy materials with the Exchange. The SEC submitted the proposed rule change for public comment in late 2017. No comments had been submitted by mid-January, and the SEC extended the comment period to March 12. However, for unknown reasons the SEC approved the change on March 1.
