On March 20, 2025, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the SEC) Division of Corporation Finance issued new guidance that permits Form S-3 registration statements that are not automatically effective upon filing, typically used by issuers that are not well-known seasoned issuers (WKSIs), to be declared effective after the issuer files its Annual Report on Form 10-K but before filing the proxy statement containing information required by Part III of Form 10-K (Part III Information) that was properly omitted from the issuer’s timely filed Form 10-K.
