The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the agenda for the Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies (ACSEC) meeting scheduled for October 5th. The Committee will be reviewing regulation S‑K disclosure requirements, research regarding corporate board diversity, and outreach to smaller companies about capital raising.
ACSEC also will receive updates from the Division of Trading and Markets on equity market structure initiatives, a tick-size pilot, and the treatment of so-called “finders” that assist companies in capital raising activities.
ACSEC is a “formal mechanism” for the SEC to receive advice and recommendations on privately held small businesses and publicly traded companies with a market capitalization less than $250 million. The meeting on October 5th is being held at SEC Headquartes and is open to the public. Proceedings will also be live streamed on the SEC website beginning at 9:30AM.
