The SEC announced that companies can now submit registration statements for confidential review before public filing in connection with most registered offerings. This expansion builds on the confidential filing process that began in 2012 for emerging growth companies and evolved through updates in 2017, 2020, and 2024. These changes align with acting SEC Chair Mark T. Uyeda’s focus on enhancing capital formation and making the registered offering process easier.
