US regulators are set to release a long-awaited update of proposed crisis-era Wall Street compensation rules at a public meeting on April 21, according to a government notice posted on April 14.

Regulators have been working for more than five years on updating the proposed rules. The new version is expected to require banks to hold back much of an executive's bonus beyond the three years already adopted by many firms, according to people familiar with the matter.
