Hogan Lovells developed a checklist of key changes and considerations that public companies should be aware of when preparing their Forms 10-K and proxy statements for the upcoming filing season. For ease of reference, we have divided the list into three sections: (i) changes pertaining to the Form 10-K; (ii) changes pertaining to the proxy statement; and (iii) changes that may affect both filings.
In addition to the items summarized in the list, the SEC has adopted numerous other changes that are not discussed herein, including changes to Securities Act forms.
