On Friday, the SEC announced that the fees for registration of securities and certain other transactions in fiscal 2015 will be $116.20 per million dollars, down from $128.80 per million dollars last year. Under Dodd-Frank, the annual rate changes must take effect on the first day of each fiscal year. Therefore, effective October 1, 2014, the Section 6(b) fee rate applicable to the registration of securities, the Section 13(e) fee rate applicable to the repurchase of securities and the Section 14(g) fee rate applicable to proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions will decrease to $116.20 per million dollars.
