ADI 2018-04 - Marked copies of amendments to registration statements
April 3, 2018
The staff reminds funds that the filing of amendments to registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 must include marked copies indicating the changes effected by the amendment.[1] These marked copies help focus staff attention on changes that may warrant additional staff scrutiny. Funds provide a marked copy on the EDGAR system by inserting a tag before and after any changed disclosure.[2] The staff will not object if, instead of filing marked copies of reviewable filings on the EDGAR system, a fund emails to their staff reviewer more user-friendly marked copies.
