Notice
Summary
The Cboe BZX Exchange wanted to stop certain investment companies listed after May 20, 2025, from having to hold yearly shareholder meetings. But now, they’ve decided to withdraw that plan, so these companies still need to follow the old rules. This means no changes in meeting requirements or costs for those companies anytime soon.
