The amendments modernize and
simplify disclosure requirements under Items 101(a), 101(c), 103,
and 105 of Regulation S-K. The modernization of Items 101, 103, and
105 are intended to elicit improved disclosures, tailored to
reflect registrants’ particular circumstances, which should improve
disclosures for investors and simplify compliance for registrants.
Particularly, the amendments increase the flexibility of
registrants to tailor their disclosures; eliminates or reduces
disclosure about matters that are not material to an understanding
of the business or to a registrant’s legal proceedings; and
encourages risk factor disclosure that is shorter and concerns only
material risks. The Commission expects the final amendments will
reduce the paperwork burden for all registrants. For purposes of
the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Commission estimates that the
final amendments will result in a net decrease of five burden hours
and a net decrease of $5,600 in the cost burden for Form SF-1.
