Cooley’s “‘We Will Get By, We Will Survive’ – The Future of Shareholder Proposals” discusses—among other things—the potential for an uptick in binding bylaw proposals in response to SEC Chair Paul Atkins’ recent remarks regarding companies’ ability to potentially exclude precatory shareholder proposals and the staff’s change in approach as to no-action requests.
