This session will examine the rapidly evolving landscape for shareholder proposals in light of the Division of Corporation Finance's November 17, 2025 announcement reshaping the Rule 14a-8 no action process for the current proxy season. Panelists will explore how these changes affect engagement with proponents, as well as how boards and management teams should recalibrate their risk assessments when considering exclusions without traditional staff concurrence. The discussion will also focus on emerging trends in proposals such as binding bylaw amendment proposals.
