Disclosure Regarding Repurchase Programs News Today

On May 3, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to issuer share repurchase disclosure rules, aimed at providing investors with enhanced information to enable them to better “assess the efficiency, purposes, and impacts of share repurchases.”

New rules require domestic issuers, foreign private issuers FPIs except those that file pursuant to Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, and registered closed-end management investment companies to provide additional share repurchases disclosures on behalf of the issuer.
