Extraterritorial application of U.S. securities laws
Article Abstract:
The SEC has implemented Final Amendments to Regulation S to control abusive practices concerning the use of promissory notes and hedging techniques. In an interpretive release dated June 27, 1995, the SEC reminded investors that Regulation S could not provide protections for transactions that, although in technical compliance, were designed to circumvent the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Final Amendments include technical and clarifying revisions and require the replacement of the Form 8-K by disclosure requirements in the other Issuer's Forms.
