QUESTION: What is "Regulation FD"? ANSWER: Regulation FD, also known as "Regulation Fair Disclosure" or "Reg. FD" is a new SEC rule that requires companies to make all "material" information available to all investors at precisely the same time. This landmark ruling challenges public companies' longstanding practice of giving the news earlier to analysts, institutional investors and selected news wires such as Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg. *** NOTE: The SEC's fair disclosure rule will take effect on Oct. 23 despite pleas to extend the start date from investor relations groups. Naturally, EDGAR Online will be ready with a special Web new site devoted entirely to Regulation FD. The new site, available next week, will guide your through the sweeping changes and developments resulting from this important new ruling.
