In a Dec. 30 letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CII warned the change could undermine a process that for decades has driven governance reforms and supported long-term shareholder value.
🔗 Read the letter: www.cii.org//Files/Corre...
🧵 CII is urging the SEC to reverse its new stance on no-action requests, which could weaken a long-standing shareholder right central to strong corporate governance.
