Shareholder access to the proxy statement—an idea anathema to most of Corporate America, but nevertheless one forcing itself upon boardrooms anyway—is back on the agenda for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC has scheduled a trio of roundtables on shareholder rights and the federal proxy rules, including one to examine the relationship between federal proxy rules and state corporation law. The meetings are open to the public and will be at the SEC offices in Washington, D.C., on May 7, May 24 and May 25.
