The SEC’s Swiss Army Statute: Statement On Charter Communications, Inc., SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, Nov. 14, 2023

Date 14/11/2023

The classic Swiss Army Knife began its life as an ingenious multi-use tool designed by Karl Elsener, a Swiss cutler. The early versions started with basic tools useful to soldiers—a blade, a can opener, a screwdriver, and a reamer—and soon expanded to include a second blade and a corkscrew. Over time, the knife has evolved to incorporate myriad attachments and has expanded beyond its martial beginnings to offer versions for different users. The Commission in recent years has taken to using Securities Exchange Act Section 13(b)(2)(B) as its own Swiss Army statute—a multi-use tool handy for compelling companies to adopt and adhere to policies and procedures that the Commission deems good corporate practice. We do not have the authority to tell companies how to run themselves, but we now routinely use Section 13(b)(2)(B) to do just that. The settlement with Charter Communications, Inc. is the latest example of the Commission’s unmooring of Section 13(b)(2)(B) from its statutory text and context to extend the reach of its jurisdiction.
