The SEC just proposed its most significant restructure of public company regulation in over 20 years, increasing access to public markets and decreasing friction in the IPO process, according to a note published by ICR Capital.

This includes an increase in the number of public companies qualified to raise capital by expanding eligibility for shelf registration on Form S-3, ICR Capital wrote in the note.

Another proposal aims to streamline public company reporting by merging the current five filer categories into two and extending eligibility for scaled disclosure accommodations across a larger section of the public company sphere, it stated.
