Atkins touts SEC plan to rescind Rule 14a-8, climate rule in Dallas speech

Chairman Paul Atkins used an address to the Economic Club of Dallas to frame the SEC's current rulemaking agenda as a 'return to First Principles,' tying together IPO reform, digital asset proposals and a plan to rescind the shareholder-proposal rule. Compliance and governance teams should note which specific proposals he cited and their current status.

  • Atkins said the SEC proposed earlier this year to let public companies choose semi-annual reporting instead of quarterly reports.
  • From the start of 2025 through the first half of 2026, more than 580 companies went public, raising $208 billion, with 47 IPOs in Texas alone.
  • The Commission has proposed rescinding Rule 14a-8, a shareholder-proposal rule in place since 1942, to return governance authority to individual states.
  • The SEC's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, unveiled in August, and its Innovation Exemption aim to create capital-raising pathways for crypto issuers and permit certain onchain trading of tokenized securities.
  • Atkins confirmed the Commission has proposed rescinding the prior administration's climate disclosure rule.

UK updates voluntary code for executive search firms on board diversity

This briefing covers a minor but notable update to the UK's voluntary code of conduct for executive search firms, which governs how search firms run board-level hiring processes. The code underpins gender diversity targets on UK boards and has just been amended twice in under a year.

  • A 5 January 2026 update revised the introduction, provisions 1, 2 and 5, and the 'embedding and developing the code' section.
  • The code has set a longlist target of 40% since an update made on 16 March 2021.
  • Around 100 executive search firms have signed the code, which the department says cover the vast majority of UK board work.
  • The code originates from the 2011 Davies Review and was last substantively republished on 15 November 2017.

FCA finds governance gaps at benchmark administrators in multi-firm review

This review closes a supervisory programme the FCA began after its 2024 portfolio letter flagged governance weaknesses at benchmark administrators. It sets out observations across five areas, from board composition to assurance, intended to help firms assess their own arrangements rather than prescribe a single model. Compliance and risk teams supporting benchmark administration should read it as a diagnostic checklist.

  • The review is the final part of supervisory work launched after the FCA's 2024 portfolio letter identified governance weaknesses at a number of benchmark administrators.
  • The FCA assessed firms across five areas: board composition and capability, board engagement and challenge, governance structure and escalation, board packs and information flow, and governance assurance.
  • In some cases governance records did not clearly capture board decisions, challenge, decision rationale and resulting actions.
  • The FCA found information and escalation flows between UK regulated entities and wider group governance forums were less developed in some cases.
  • The FCA says it will use the findings to inform supervisory engagement and encourages administrators to engage with the government's ongoing review of the UK Benchmarks Regulation.

SEC proposes reopening fixed-income cross trading shut off by 2022 valuation rule

The SEC has proposed amendments to rule 17a-7, the exemption letting affiliated funds trade securities directly with each other. The changes would restore eligibility for many fixed-income securities that became ineligible after a 2020 valuation rule took effect, while adding new pricing, oversight and reporting conditions. Comments close December 14, 2026.

  • Comments on the proposed rule are due on or before December 14, 2026, under File Number S7-2026-36.
  • Rule 2a-5's definition of readily available market quotations has made most fixed-income securities ineligible for cross trading since its compliance date of September 8, 2022.
  • Registered funds investing primarily in fixed-income instruments grew from around $1.5 trillion to approximately $7.9 trillion in assets over the last twenty years, according to the release.
  • An industry survey found registered funds engaged in more than $200 billion in cross trades of fixed-income securities in 2020, with estimated savings of over $300 million.
  • The proposal would require aggregated reporting of trading activity and cross trades on Form N-PORT and Form N-MFP.

SEC proposes to rescind Rule 14a-8 and modernise proxy solicitation process

The SEC has issued two proposing releases on its proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. One would rescind Rule 14a-8 and amend Rule 14a-4(c); the other modernises the proxy solicitation process. Comment periods run 60 days from Federal Register publication. This segment covers what each release changes and the statutory-authority argument driving the first.

  • The SEC proposed to rescind Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, citing statutory authority limits and intrusion into state law.
  • Rescission would leave the role of shareholder proposals to state law and company governing documents.
  • The Commission proposed amendments to Rule 14a-4(c) on discretionary proxy voting authority.
  • Solicitation amendments would eliminate the annual-report delivery requirement, drop the incorporation-by-reference delivery deadline, remove Notices of Exempt Solicitation, and cut the broker search period from 20 to five business days.
  • Both comment periods remain open for 60 days after Federal Register publication.
