2009-2010 Corporate Governance Reforms

The pace over the past year of legislation and administrative and executive activity designed to reform the corporate governance landscape has been dizzying. However, those in the driver's seat, including the U.S. Congress, the SEC and the Treasury Department, expect public companies to be prepared when the reforms become effective.

In order to assist those who will be impacted by pending and recently adopted reforms, including our clients, McGuireWoods' corporate governance team has created the 2009-2010 Corporate Governance Reforms Chart (http://www.mcguirewoods.com/news-resources/publications/Corporate%20Governance%20Reforms.pdf), that provides information on:

• Pending federal legislation, selected state statutes, and proposed and recently adopted rules of the SEC (including the Proxy Disclosure Enhancements that go into effect Feb. 28, 2010).
