KMK Law Corporate & Securities Blog

As part of its recently adopted Final Rules on Proxy Disclosure Enhancements, the SEC added a new Item 5.07 to Form 8-K.  Item 5.07 requires a company to report the results of voting at any shareholders meeting within four business days after the meeting at which the vote was held.

As approved by the SEC, the revised rules (more fully described in this SEC Release) basically conform the NYSE corporate governance listing standards to the requirements of Item 407 of Regulation S-K and to Form 8-K by eliminating duplicative disclosure requirements currently included in the NYSE standards and directly incorporating the Item 407 requirements.
