    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a rule change proposed by The Depository Trust Company (DTC) to update its Corporate Actions Distributions Service Guide. The changes clarify the interim accounting process, especially in cases of securities being delisted or when ex-dates change due to unscheduled stock exchange closures. DTC will no longer apply interim accounting when an ex-date shifts due to unexpected closures, reducing the workload on participants. Additionally, updates were made to the withholding tax regulations for non-U.S. participants. These adjustments aim to improve DTC's operational efficiency and enhance clarity for its participants.
