What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The National Legal and Policy Center is advocating for the Securities and Exchange Commission to preserve stock ownership thresholds for shareholder proposals, which the SEC had proposed eliminating. The NLPC submitted proposals suggesting minimum ownership standards for companies like Procter & Gamble. While the NLPC's proposal at Procter & Gamble is scheduled for a vote on October 13, the NLPC withdrew its proposal at Microsoft following negotiations. Microsoft agreed to consider shareholder proposals through next year at the request of an activist, despite the SEC's rule changes.
