Executive Summary

  • What’s new: The SEC has proposed Regulation E-Delivery, a new rule that would govern how public companies, registered investment companies, business development companies (BDCs), broker-dealers, investment advisers and other market participants may satisfy delivery obligations to investors, clients and other covered recipients under the federal securities laws.
  • Why it matters: If adopted, Regulation E-Delivery would supersede the SEC’s existing e-delivery framework and permit electronic delivery to become the default method of delivery to investors, providing potential savings in printing and mailing costs.
  • What to do next: Public companies, registered investment companies, BDCs, investment advisers, broker-dealers and other covered entities should consider evaluating how Regulation E-Delivery would impact existing delivery practices and prepare for the transition process for covered recipients receiving paper communications.
