- Excerpt from NYSE Amends "Late Filer Rule":

Effective March 2, the New York Stock Exchange amended its rule (commonly referred to as the “late filer rule”) that applies to listed companies that do not timely file their periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission , expanding the circumstances under which a listed company would be deemed a late filer. In amending the late filer rule, the NYSE noted the importance of providing to investors access to accurate and current information about the business and financial position of companies listed on the NYSE.
