Lockheed Martin is asking a federal judge to end a nearly 40-year-old Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that it provide advance notice of any changes to its anti-bribery policies. The requirement to disclose anti-corruption protocols dates back to a 1976 settlement following revelations of illegal payments to foreign government officials. Under those terms, Lockheed Martin must file an 8-K report at least 10 days prior to any policy change.
