On May 3, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted (3-2) to adopt amendments requiring disclosures related to issuers’ share repurchases. The amendments that were adopted are different from those that were proposed. Notably, the amendments require issuers to disclose daily repurchase activities quarterly or semiannually in connection with their periodic filings.
See the fact sheet and text of adopting release.
