Woofun AI reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed Regulation E-Delivery rules to establish electronic channels as the default method for securities information disclosure. The proposal permits issuers, broker-dealers, and investment advisers to transmit regulatory documents electronically without prior explicit investor consent, reversing the current paper-first standard. Covered materials include fund prospectuses, shareholder reports, proxy statements, trade confirmations, and Form ADV Part 2 brochures. The SEC asserts this change enhances information access efficiency and document retention. A transition mechanism requires institutions to send two paper notices to investors before switching them to electronic delivery, preserving the right to opt out. The proposal enters a 60-day public comment period upon publication in the Federal Register.
