Time 3 Minute Read

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted amendments to modernize its Regulation S-K and thereby change the rules related to environmental disclosure requirements and increase the reporting threshold for disclosure of actual or potential environmental penalties.[1]  In doing so, the SEC is updating rules that have not been revised significantly in 30 years.  Proposed last year as part of the SEC’s Disclosure Effectiveness Initiative, [2] the amended rules, which were adopted on August 26, 2020, are intended to improve disclosure for investors and simplify compliance for registrants.  As described in the rule preamble, the amendments are “intended to improve the readability of disclosure documents, as well as discourage repetition and disclosure of information that is not material.” [3]
