Voluntary Exempt Solicitations Prohibited Voluntary Exempt Solicitations Prohibited: SEC limits meaningful influence to large shareholders, silencing dissent and fostering oligarchy

Voluntary Exempt Solicitations Prohibited: SEC limits meaningful influence to large shareholders, silencing dissent and fostering oligarchy. Shareholder proposals and "Vote-No" campaigns will be severely impacted.

Injunctive relief? See draft language at www.corpgov.net/2026/01/volu...

Thank you @droste.bsky.social. I was about to post something on this, but didn't think about the impact on the vote-no campaigns. If things keep going as they have been, Rule 14a-9 proposals go largely by the wayside the impact on Vote-No campaigns could end up being the greater of the two. #corpgov

I can't wait to compare the Obama and the Trump Centers/Libraries. Obama will have a sports center and a reading room. Will Trump have a fight room? Trump says there will be a “big UFC fight” on the White House lawn tied to 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Will the Saudi's award gold belts?
