Hot off the press! Perkins Coie’s 6th edition of its iconic "The Public Company Handbook: A Corporate Governance and Disclosure Guide for Directors and Executives” covers corporate governance best practices; shareholder engagement; SEC reporting requirements; Section 16 reporting and insider trading; proxy statement preparation, proxy solicitation, and annual shareholders’ meetings; exchange listing standards; anti-takeover defenses; follow-on offerings and shelf registrations; securities litigation; and more. The corporate governance chapter addresses not only directors’ fiduciary duties, liabilities, and judicial review standards, but also board composition, board meetings, board committees, and director/board compensation.
The Appendix includes an annual SEC reporting and shareholders’ meeting calendar; a Form 8-K checklist; a visual portrayal of D&O insurance coverage; and tabular summaries of the primary NYSE and Nasdaq continued listing standards.
