What is the difference between Data on Record with SNL and Data to Verify/Update?
Data to Verify/Update is the saved or submitted values that have been entered by contacts for your company. Data on Record with SNL is what we currently publish in our products for your company.

Regulation Fair Disclosure (Regulation FD) is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC)new rule for issuers primarily aimed at eliminating selective disclosure. The SEC is concerned that individuals, particularly analysts and other securities market professionals (brokers, dealers, investment advisers and investment companies) and holders of the issuers' securities, receive information before it is made available to the public.
The Commission makes clear that the principal focus of Regulation FD is to guard against and prohibit selective disclosure of material nonpublic information (and, correspondingly, insider trading and misappropriation of inside information). At the same time the Commission underscores that the regulation is "designed to promote the full and fair disclosure of information by issuers," consistent with established principles of federal securities laws and long-established policies of the Commission.
Yes. Your company can still submit information to SNL and remain fully in compliance with Regulation FD, provided you don’t complete our questionnaires prior to making public your earnings release, either by posting it on your website, or releasing it through a press release agency. SNL is a publishing and research company and is not an "enumerated person", defined by the SEC as broker-dealers, investment advisers or any other investment company that has the ability to trade based on market information. SNL is a media organization and information provider with more than one hundred products and subscription services delivered via database, Internet, and print products. The Commission makes clear in its introductory comments to Regulation FD that the mandate is specifically intended to exclude information provided to members of the media, such as SNL.
Your ability to submit financial and other information to SNL concurrent with or following your earnings press release is confirmed in a legal opinion prepared by the law firm LeClair Ryan. In a letter to the Deputy General Counsel of the SEC, Alfred J. T. Byrne inquired about the applicability of Regulation FD to SNL's practice of obtaining "material" information from public companies. After a thorough discussion with the Office of General Counsel of the SEC, he and his firm confirm in their opinion, provided by Scott H. Richter, that supplying information to SNL Financial fully complies with the letter and intent of Regulation FD.
