==========================================START OF PAGE 1====== SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RELEASE NO. 34-38235; INTERNATIONAL SERIES RELEASE NO. 1048 February 4, 1997 List of Foreign Issuers Which Have Submitted Information Required by the Exemption Relating to Certain Foreign Securities Foreign private issuers with total assets in excess of $10,000,000 and a class of equity securities held of record by 500 or more persons, of which 300 or more shareholders reside in the United States, are subject to registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq. (the "Act"). -[1]- Rule 12g3-2(b) (17 CFR 240.12g3-2(b)) provides an exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Act with respect to a foreign private issuer that submits on a current basis material specified in the Rule to the Commission. Such required material includes that information about which investors ought reasonably to be informed with respect to the issuer and its subsidiaries and which the issuer (1) has made or is required to make public pursuant to the law of the country of its domicile or in which it is incorporated or organized, (2) has filed or is required to file with a stock exchange on which its securities are traded and ---------FOOTNOTES---------- -[1]- Foreign issuers may also be subject to such requirements of the Act by reason of having securities registered and listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, and may be subject to the reporting requirements by reason of having registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq. ==========================================START OF PAGE 2====== which was made public by such exchange and/or (3) has distributed or is required to distribute to its security holders. On October 6, 1983, the Commission revised Rule 12g3-2(b) by terminating the availability of the exemptive rule for certain foreign issuers with securities quoted on an automated inter- dealer quotation system (which includes the NASDAQ stock market). - [2]- The Commission grandfathered indefinitely securities of non-Canadian issuers in compliance with the information-supplying exemption as of October 6, 1983 and quoted in NASDAQ on that date. -[3]- The Commission extended the exemption to Canadian securities only until January, 1986. When it adopted Rule 12g3-2 and other rules relating to foreign securities, -[4]- the Commission indicated that from time to time it would issue lists showing those foreign issuers that have claimed exemptions from the registration provisions of Section 12(g) of the Act. -[5]- The purpose of the present release is to call to the attention of brokers, dealers, and investors that some form of relatively current information concerning the foreign issuers included on the following list is ---------FOOTNOTES---------- -[2]- Exchange Act Release No. 20264 (Oct. 6, 1983). -[3]- If, however, the securities are delisted from an automated inter-dealer quotation system or the issuer fails to maintain or otherwise meet the requirements of the exemption, the grandfather provision will cease to apply. -[4]- Exchange Act Release No. 8066 (Apr. 28, 1967). -[5]- Exchange Act Release No. 36200 (Sept. 7, 1995) contained the last such list. ==========================================START OF PAGE 3====== available in the public files of the Commission. -[6]- The Commission also wishes to bring to the attention of brokers, dealers, and investors the fact that current information concerning foreign issuers may not necessarily be available in the United States. -[7]- The Commission continues to expect that brokers and dealers will consider this fact in connection with their obligations under the federal securities laws to have a reasonable basis for recommending these securities to their customers. -[8]- Any questions regarding Rule 12g3-2 or the list included herein should be directed to Andrea R. Biller, Office of International Corporate Finance, Division of Corporation Finance, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549 ((202) 942-2990). Requests for copies of the documents in the files should be directed to the Public ---------FOOTNOTES---------- -[6]- Inclusion of an issuer on the following list is not an affirmation by the Commission that the issuer has complied or is complying with all the conditions of the exemption provided by Rule 12g3-2(b). The list does identify those issuers that both have claimed the exemption and have submitted relatively current information to the Commission as of January 23, 1997. -[7]- Paragraph (a)(4) of Rule 15c2-11 [17 CFR 240.15c2-11] requires a broker-dealer initiating a quotation for securities of a foreign private issuer to maintain in its files, and to make reasonably available upon request, the information furnished to the Commission pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) since the beginning of the issuer's last fiscal year. -[8]- See, e.g., Hanly v. SEC, 415 F.2d 589 (2nd Cir. 1969) (broker-dealer cannot recommend a security unless an adequate and reasonable basis exists for such recommendation). ==========================================START OF PAGE 4====== Reference Room, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549 ((202) 942-8090).
