Cooley special counsel Reid Hooper and Michael Mencher recently participated in an episode of the “Timely Takes” podcast. They discussed several topics related to the proxy season, including the influence of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Legal Bulletin 14M (SLB 14M) on current and future proxy seasons. Other points of discussion included shareholder proposal hot topics, the impact of Regulations 13D and 13G compliance and disclosure interpretations (C&DIs) on proxy season engagement, an overview of Rule 14a-8 no-action letter results, trends in no-action submissions and arguments, as well as the outlook for the 2026 proxy season after a full year under SLB 14M.
