Congress soon voting on reducing shareholder democ
Post# of 41413
Behind our backs, SEC. 844 of the Financial Choice Act is being reviewed...that would drastically alter the shareholder proposal rules.
The Act would require shareholder proponents to
- hold one percent of the issuer’s voting securities, instead of the current threshold of $2,000.
- The holding period [to be able to vote] would be increased from one year to three years.
- Additionally, the thresholds for resubmitting proposals would be raised and the common practice of having an agent submit proposals on behalf of a shareholder would be prohibited.
