On February 6, 2019, the SEC Staff issued a new interpretation relating to director qualifications and diversity which could impact proxy statement disclosures for the upcoming proxy season, and potentially D&O questionnaires as well.
On the same day, the staff in the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has updated its compliance and disclosure interpretations (C&DIs) related to preparing certain disclosures about self-identified diversity characteristics that may be required under Regulation S-K, Item 401, or, with respect to nominees, under Regulation S-K, Item 407. Specifically, the SEC has added Questions 116.11 and 133.13.
