SEC Extends Approval Deadline to Merge FINRA Dispute Resolution, Inc. and FINRA Regulation, Inc. (Fed. Reg.)

The period for SEC approval was extended on a FINRA proposal to merge its dispute resolution subsidiary, FINRA Dispute Resolution, Inc., into and with its regulatory subsidiary, FINRA Regulation, Inc.

In addition, the proposed rule change would also amend the FINRA Regulation By-Laws to increase the total number of directors who could serve on the FINRA Regulation board.

January 11, 2016 is designated as the approval deadline for the SEC.
