Dissenting Statement On Buybacks Disclosure Proposal, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Dec. 15, 2021

Today’s proposal channels some of that rage against repurchases in a way that only a regulator can—through painfully granular, unnecessarily frequent disclosure obligations. This proposal requires daily repurchase disclosure to be furnished with the Commission one business day after execution. Because I do not support the indirect regulation of corporate activity through disclosure requirements, I respectfully dissent.
