SEC issues Hurricane Michael regulatory relief

The SEC has issued an order that conditionally exempts affected persons from certain requirements of the federal securities laws for periods following the impact of Hurricane Michael. The order provides regulatory relief to publicly traded companies, investment companies, accountants, transfer agents, municipal advisors, and others affected by Hurricane Michael. The loss of property, power, transportation, and mail delivery due to the hurricane poses challenges for some individuals and entities that are required to provide information to the SEC and shareholders.
