Olshan partner Spencer Feldman published an article in Law360 (subscription required) entitled “Why Public Cos. Should Also Comply With SEC's Names Rule.” In the article,  he notes that for both investment funds and public companies, “materially misleading and deceptive names are subject to the anti-fraud provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws regarding disclosures to investors. Public companies with potentially ambiguous ESG-related corporate names should hear the SEC’s message.”
