Commission Announcements
SEC Adopts Large Trader Reporting Regime
The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted unanimously to adopt a new rule establishing large trader reporting requirements to enhance the agency’s ability to identify large market participants, collect information on their trading, and analyze their trading activity.
The new rule requires large traders to identify themselves to the SEC, which will then assign each trader a unique identification number. Large traders will provide this number to their broker-dealers, who will be required to maintain transaction records for each large trader and report that information to the SEC upon request.
“May 6 dramatically demonstrated the need to enhance the SEC’s ability to quickly and accurately analyze market events. The large trader reporting rule will significantly bolster our ability to oversee the U.S. securities markets in a time when trades can be transacted in milliseconds or faster,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. “This new rule will enable us to promptly and efficiently identify significant market participants and collect data on their trading activity so that we can reconstruct market events, conduct investigations, and bring enforcement actions as appropriate.”
The new rule has two primary components:
- First, it requires large traders to register with the Commission through a new form, Form 13H.
- Second, it imposes recordkeeping, reporting, and limited monitoring requirements on certain registered broker-dealers through whom large traders execute their transactions.
The new rule will be effective 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. (Press Rel. 2011-154)
SEC Adopts New Short Form Criteria to Replace Credit Ratings
The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted unanimously to adopt new rules in light of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to remove credit ratings as eligibility criteria for companies seeking to use “short form” registration when registering securities for public sale.
Forms S-3 and F-3 are the “short forms” used by eligible issuers to register securities offerings under the Securities Act. Companies that qualify for these short forms can offer securities “off the shelf” or on an expedited basis.
Companies can currently qualify to use these forms if they are registering an offering of non-convertible securities, such as debt securities, that have received an investment grade rating by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO).
The new rules eliminate the credit ratings criteria and replace it with four new tests, one of which must be satisfied for an issuer to use Form S-3 or Form F-3. In order to ease transition for companies, the rules include a temporary, three-year grandfather provision.
“This action is part of our effort to reduce reliance on credit ratings, as the Dodd-Frank Act requires all financial regulators to do,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. “The new rules provide an appropriate and workable alternative to credit ratings for determining whether an issuer should be able to use short form registration and have access to the shelf offering process.” (Press Rel. 2011-155)
SEC Re-Proposes New Shelf Eligibility Requirements for Asset-Backed Securities
The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted unanimously to re-propose for public comment some rules requiring greater accountability and enhanced quality around asset-backed securities (ABS) when issuers seek to use an expedited registration process known as shelf registration.
The SEC initially proposed rules in April 2010 to significantly revise the regulatory regime for ABS. Subsequent to that proposal, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law and addressed some of the same ABS concerns. In light of those Dodd-Frank Act provisions and comments received from the public, the SEC re-evaluated its initial proposals.
“It is very important that we move forward with our new registration and reporting rules for the asset-backed securities market, but we also want to make sure we get it right,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. “This re-proposal will help us solicit the input and constructive comments we need to finalize this critically important project to protect investors in asset-backed securities.”
Public comments are due 60 days after publication of the re-proposed rules in the Federal Register. (Press Rel. 2011-156)
Enforcement Proceedings
Securities and Exchange Commission Orders Hearing on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Ten Public Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings
On July 25, 2011, the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registrations of each class of the securities of ten companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:
- Circle Fine Art Corp.
- Coachman, Inc.
- Coachman Inns Income Ltd. Partnership
- Columbia Western, Inc.
- Comet Software International, Inc.
- Commonwealth Industries Corp.
- Comstock Industries, Inc.
- Concentration, Inc.
- Concordia Paper Holdings, Ltd.
- ConnectAJet.com, Inc. (f/k/a Source Venture Capital, Inc.)
In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the ten issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission.
In this proceeding, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-64959; File No. 3-14487)
Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of I2corp.Com (f/k/a PCG Media, Inc.) for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings
On July 26, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of i2corp.com (f/k/a PCG Media, Inc.) (i2corp.com) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.
Without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which it admitted, i2corp.com consented to the entry of an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to i2corp.com (f/k/a PCG Media, Inc.) finding that it had failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder and revoking the registration of each class of i2corp.com’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against i2corp.com in In the Matter of Interactive Telesis, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14452.
Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

(Rel. 34-64960; File No. 3-14452)
In the Matter of William K. Harrison
On July 26, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against William K. Harrison (Harrison). The Order finds that Harrison was associated with Wachovia Securities, Inc. (Wachovia) as a registered representative from 2003 until his resignation on October 13, 2008. While at Wachovia, Harrison held Series 7 and 63 licenses. On April 15, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Harrison, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) [15 U.S.C. § 77 q(a)], Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)] and Rule 10b-5 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5], and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Advisers Act [15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-6(1), (2), & (4)] and Rule 206(4)-8, thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 275.206(4)-8], in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. William K. Harrison, et al., Civil Action Number 3:10-cv-00634, in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
The Order finds that the Commission’s complaint alleged the following facts: Between approximately December 2007 and October 2008, Harrison used misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to defraud at least forty-two Wachovia brokerage customers of at least $8 million in customer funds. On or around December 2007, Harrison began offering his Wachovia customers an investment opportunity outside of Wachovia through an advisory firm he owned. Harrison misrepresented to customers who became advisory clients that the investment opportunity was guaranteed to make a 35% return, with no risk of loss of principal. In those instances when investors were informed that their monies would be used for trading options, Harrison misrepresented to the riskiness of his trading strategy by telling investors that he had a foolproof approach to trading options and that their principal investment was secure and would make handsome returns regardless of market volatility. Harrison pooled his customers’ funds in an account opened with optionsXpress, Inc. (optionsXpress) in Harrison’s wife’s name or in a joint account with optionsXpress in the name of Harrison and his wife. Clients of the advisory firm Harrison worked through also placed assets in the pooled vehicle based on misrepresentations. So as to not draw attention to his conduct, Harrison placed “limited trading authorizations” and other related documentation associated with his scheme in the name of Harrison’s wife. Although the trading strategy that Harrison employed was initially successful, it soon resulted in substantial investor losses. By October 2008, he had depleted the vast majority of the money he had raised from investors. On October 13, 2008, Harrison submitted to Wachovia a resignation letter in which he confessed to “misdirecting” $6.6 million from 17 of his Wachovia customers in order to trade online. He also admitted that he had conducted this online trading without first securing the authorization of these 17 individuals.
Based on the above, the Order bars Harrison from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Harrison consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the injunction.
