  • Somewhere Between Cacophony And Euphony, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, May 18, 2026

    Date 18/05/2026

    Today the Commission rescinded its decades-old no-admit/no-deny policy governing the settlement process. Under this policy, settling defendants cannot publicly deny the allegations in a complaint or permit anyone else to do so.  The Commission will no longer require and demand that defendants in its enforcement actions curtail their right to speak as a condition of settlement.  For reasons I have explained before, this result is good and brings the Commission into alignment with nearly every other part of the federal government.  Settlements shrouded in forced silence by the non-governmental party do not serve either the markets or the Commission’s investor-protection mission.  To the contrary, people’s freedom to speak against the government contributes to its ability to govern well. Transparent enforcement of the securities laws helps create the environment in which free markets thrive, and enabling both parties in an enforcement action to speak freely contributes to transparency.

  • SEC Rescinds Policy Regarding Denials Of Settlements In Enforcement Actions - This Policy Change Will Allow The Commission To Settle Enforcement Actions Without Requiring Defendants To Agree Not To Publicly Deny The Agency’s Allegations

    Date 18/05/2026

    The Securities and Exchange Commission today rescinded a policy, codified in Rule 202.5(e) of its informal rules of procedures, stating that when it chooses to settle an enforcement action in which a sanction is imposed, it will not settle unless the defendant or respondent also agrees not to publicly deny the allegations in the complaint or administrative order. Rescinding Rule 202.5(e) aligns the Commission with the overwhelming majority of federal agencies that do not have a similar rule and gives the Commission more flexibility in settling enforcement actions, which conserves resources, provides certainty, and potentially expedites the return of money to injured investors. The recission recognizes that the effect on the public interest from such denials may be minimal and that the policy itself may have created an incorrect impression that the Commission is trying to shield itself from criticism.
