Status Report Delayed to Oct. 31 in SEC’s Regulation FD Suit vs. AT&T

The deadline for filing a joint status letter in the SEC’s March 2021 complaint against AT&T was extended to Oct. 31, said an order signed Thursday by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in U.S. District Court in Manhattan (docket 1:21-cv-01951). Engelmayer received a joint request from the parties for the delay, his order said. The SEC alleges AT&T, “aided and abetted” by three executives in its investor relations department, violated the commission’s fair disclosure rules.
