SEC approves listing standards requiring registrants to adopt clawback policies by December
|
|
The SEC approved listing standards proposed by the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and
Nasdaq that require listed companies
to recover or “claw back” incentive-based compensation erroneously received by current and former executive officers in the event of a required accounting restatement. The standards will be effective on 2 October 2023, and registrants listed on those exchanges
will be required to adopt compliant clawback policies by 1 December 2023.
The NYSE and Nasdaq were required to establish these listing standards under the SEC’s clawback rules adopted in October 2022. For more information about the rules’ requirements, see our
