BIO Comments on SEC Proposal to Amend the Accelerated Filer and Large Accelerated Filer Definitions

In a recent letter, BIO applauded the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for taking a proactive approach in amending its accelerated and large accelerated filer definitions.

“If adopted as proposed, these amendments will benefit startups and their investors by freeing up more capital to invest in hiring scientists and pursuing research and development.
