Event Synopsis:
The legal landscape for shareholder proposals is evolving unceasingly as regulatory developments continue to emerge in the backdrop. In October 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released its Staff Legal Bulletin No. 14J (SLB 14J) on shareholder proposals. Although SLB 14J as well as the Staff no-action decisions from the 2019 proxy season provided substantial guide on shareholder proposals, the path forward for proponents and companies alike remains unpredictable and unclear.

Thus, it is necessary for companies to keep themselves abreast of the latest developments to ensure compliance and avoid risk issues.
