The deadline Hugin could not give on September 16 now exists: the SEC's proposals to rescind shareholder-proposal Rule 14a-8 and to modernize proxy solicitation were printed in the Federal Register on September 21, and comments on both are due November 20, 2026.
On September 21 the Federal Register printed the two SEC proposing releases announced September 16: FR Doc. 2026-19260, which would rescind Rule 14a-8, the shareholder proposal rule, and amend Rule 14a-4 (91 FR 59904, File No. S7-2026-32), and FR Doc. 2026-19259, Proxy Solicitation Modernization (91 FR 59852, File No. S7-2026-33). That printing started the 60-day clock, and both releases now give the same deadline: November 20, 2026. The rescission release says comments 'should be received' by then, so a mailed letter should arrive by that date. The release estimates that 697 to 932 shareholder proposals were submitted each year from 2020 to 2025, with 437 to 599 included in proxy materials each year, and it puts the rescission's monetized annual savings at about $39.6 million. Costs it describes for shareholders and for the transition to state law carry no number in that total. Comments can go through the SEC's web form, by email to rule-comments@sec.gov with the file number in the subject line, or on paper.

The SEC proposed deleting Rule 14a-8 — the rule that makes a company print a shareholder's question on its own ballot. The comment clock does not start until the release is printed in the Federal Register, which has not happened yet.
On September 16 the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed to rescind Rule 14a-8, the shareholder proposal rule, saying it 'exceeds the scope of the Commission's statutory authority and intrudes into matters of state law.' Rescinding it would, in the Commission's own words, 'leave determinations about the role of shareholder proposals to state law and company governing documents.' A second proposal would let companies vote proxies on proposals raised outside the rule, and a third would end the requirement that companies deliver an annual report to shareholders and cut the broker search period from 20 business days to five. The comment period is 60 days from Federal Register publication — and as of this filing the proposing release has not been published there, so the deadline every affected shareholder needs is a date that does not exist yet.
