The 2026 regulations establish a framework for settlement of administrative and civil securities-law proceedings, including pending appeals. Applicants must file prescribed disclosures, undertakings, waivers and a proposed calculation within applicable time limits; settlement is unavailable for certain repeat applications, ongoing investigations and designated defaulters, and may be declined for serious market-impact defaults. Terms may include a formula-based settlement amount, disgorgement with interest, mandatory disclosures, and remedial or regulatory measures. Fast-track routes apply to designated disclosure or compliance defaults and qualifying monetary-threshold matters. Confidentiality, coupled with settlement reductions, may reward substantial investigative assistance. A settlement order disposes of the covered proceeding but may be revoked for non-compliance, incomplete disclosure or breach of undertakings; the 2018 framework is repealed subject to transitional rules.
