Federal Court Vacates SEC’s Share Buyback Disclosure Rule
Posted by Donald Kalfen on December 20, 2023 in Client Alerts
The SEC’s share buyback disclosure rule is dead, at least for now.
On December 19, 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) corporate share buyback disclosure rule.
The SEC could (i) appeal the federal court’s ruling or (ii) propose a new rule that addresses the deficiencies identified by the court. The SEC has yet to signal its response to the court’s ruling. In the meantime, public companies will not be required to comply with the now vacated share buyback disclosure rule.
