SEC Proposed Regulation E-Delivery

Regulation E-Delivery

On July 21, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) proposed Regulation E-Delivery. The proposed rule will allow covered entities to electronically deliver covered information to covered recipients without prior affirmative consent, under certain conditions. It also defines when electronic delivery satisfies federal securities law delivery requirements. Additionally, the SEC proposes rescinding the rule allowing alternative shareholder report transmission methods for registered investment companies, and amending rules on proxy and tender offer material dissemination. See link of the proposed rule here.

Proposed Key Changes:

The SEC will no longer require an opt-in for recipients to receive electronic delivery of covered information. The opt-in will be the default, recipients will still be allowed to opt-out and get free paper copies on request.

Rule 30e-3 will rescinded, once e-delivery can be used directly.

Amends proxy and tender offer rules to align them with the new e-delivery framework and remove now-duplicative provisions.

The SEC seeks comments by September 21, 2026.
