Given that 2020 was such a tumultuous year, even the most dedicated securities lawyer may have missed a rule change or two. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was also particularly busy. Under the leadership of SEC Chair Clayton, the SEC had one of its busiest rulemaking years in history.
During this session, Anna Pinedo, Ryan Castillo, Brian Hirshberg and Laura Richman will provide a recap of the most significant rulemakings of 2020, covering the following:
- Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities

- Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired Businesses
- Amending the "Accredited Investor" Definition
- Amendments to the Exempt Offering Framework
- Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103 and 105
- Amendments to MD&A
- Modernization of Shareholder Proposal Rules/14a-8
After this session, attendees will:
- Understand the amendments to rules and disclosure requirements by the U.S. SEC in 2020, utilizing this knowledge on a day-to-day basis to advise/practice
- Understand these new amendments, especially amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired Businesses; the "Accredited Investor" definition; the Exempt Offering Framework; and MD&A, among others
