Rule 2290’s Effective Date? December 8th
A few weeks ago, I blogged about the SEC finally blessed FINRA’s (formerly NASD) Rule 2290 on an accelerated basis. Today, FINRA issued its Notice to Members regarding Rule 2290, which states that the effective date of the rule change will be December 8th (ie. 30 days following the publication of the notice).
Join us on December 6th for a webcast – “The Latest on Fairness Opinions” – to learn how the new FINRA rules impact fairness opinion practices (and how a host of new cases address management conflicts), as well as learn how the dynamics – and processes – of preparing fairness opinions have been changing. Join these experts as they explore the latest trends and developments in this area:
