SEC Chair Directs Staff to Review Commission Rule Excluding Conflicting Proxy Proposals

On January 16, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White announced that she has directed the SEC's staff to review Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which allows an issuer to exclude a shareholder proposal that "directly conflicts" with one of the issuer's own proposals. Chair White's directive is a result of uncertainty created by the Staff's no-action letter issued to Whole Foods Market, Inc., which is described in detail in the Corporate and Financial Weekly Digest edition of December 12, 2014 .
