Duane Morris Partner Laurence S. Lese to Speak at "Proxy Disclosures Under New SEC Rules: Countdown to Compliance" Webinar
February 4, 2010 | Webinar
Duane Morris partner Laurence S. Lese will be a speaker for the Strafford Publications webinar, "Proxy Disclosures Under New SEC Rules: Countdown to Compliance," to be held on February 4, 2010, from 1-2:30 p.m. EST.
About the Webinar
The SEC adopted new proxy disclosure rules in December effective for Form 10-K and proxy statement filings made on or after Feb. 28, 2010 by companies with a fiscal year ending on or after Dec. 20, 2009. Corporate boards must act immediately to comply with the new mandates.
The new rules require disclosures regarding risk and risk oversight, director qualifications and background, board leadership, potential conflicts of interest for compensation consultants, executive compensation and timely reporting of shareholder meeting results.
There are several practical steps corporate boards and their counsel must take now to prepare for implementing compliance with the new SEC rules, including identifying risks related to compensation and corporate governance and devising strategies for risk management and risk reporting.
Listen as our panel of corporate and securities attorneys explains how to implement the SEC's new disclosure rules. The panel will offer best practices for identifying, managing and reporting compensation and corporate governance risks.

The panel will review these and other key questions:
- How will the new SEC proxy disclosure rules impact corporate governance practices at public companies?
