  • The Commission will consider whether to propose amendments to Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would amend the list of event notices that a broker, dealer, or municipal securities dealer acting as an underwriter in a primary offering of municipal securities, must reasonably determine that an issuer or an obligated person has undertaken, in a written agreement or contract for the benefit of holders of the municipal securities, to provide to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.  The proposed amendments would add two event notices relating to certain financial obligations incurred by issuers and obligated persons.
