SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[RELEASE NO. 34-41384; INTERNATIONAL SERIES RELEASE NO.
1196]
May 10, 1999
List of Foreign Issuers Which Have Submitted Information
Under 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 reside in the
United States, are subject to registration under Section
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934[1] (the
"Act").[2]
Rule 12g3-2(b)[3] provides an exemption from
registration under Section 12(g) of the Act with respect to
a foreign private issuer that submits to the Commission, on
a current basis, the material required by the Rule. The
informational requirements are designed to give investors
access to certain information so they have the opportunity
to inform themselves about the issuer. The Rule requires
the issuer to provide the Commission with information that
it has: 1) 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) filed or is required to file
with a stock exchange on which its securities are traded and
that was made public by such exchange; and/or 3) distributed
or is required to distribute to its securities 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--including the
Nasdaq stock market.[4] The Commission grandfathered
indefinitely securities of non-Canadian issuers that were in
compliance with the Rule as of October 6, 1983 and quoted on
Nasdaq on that date.[5]
When the Commission adopted Rule 12g3-2(b) and other
rules[6] relating to foreign securities, it indicated that
from time to time it would publish lists showing those
foreign issuers that have claimed exemptions from the
registration provisions of Section 12(g) of the Act.[7]
The purpose of this release is to call to the attention of
brokers, dealers and investors, that some form of relatively
current information concerning the issuers included in this
list is available in the Commission’s public files.[8] 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.[9] 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
those securities to their customers.[10]
Direct any questions regarding Rule 12g3-2 or the list
of issuers in this release to Elliot Staffin, Office of
International Corporate Finance, Division of Corporation
Finance, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20549, Mail-Stop 3-2 ((202) 942-2990). This release is
available on the Commission’s Web site: www.sec.gov. Requests
for copies may also be directed to the Public Reference Room,
Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549
((202) 942-8090).
For the Commission, by the Division of Corporation
Finance, pursuant to delegated authority.

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 of the Act by reason of having registered
securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.

[5]:
If, however, the securities are delisted from an automated inter-
dealer quotation system or if the
issuer fails to meet the requirements of the Rule, the grandfather
provision will cease to apply. In
addition, effective April 1, 1998, the securities of foreign private
issuers that claim the Rule
12g3-2(b) are no longer able to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
Service. SeeExchange Act Release No. 38456 (March 31, 1997).
[6]:
Exchange Act Release No. 8066 (Apr. 28, 1967).
[7]:
Exchange Act Release No. 39681 (Feb. 19, 1998) was the last such
list.
[8]:
Inclusion of an issuer on the list in this release is not an
affirmation by the Commission that the
issuer has complied or is complying with all the conditions of Rule12g3-
2(b). The list does
identify those issuers that have both claimed the exemption and have
submitted relatively current
information to the Commission as of March 31, 1999.
[9]:
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 review, maintain
in its files, and 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.
[10]:
See, e.g., Hanley v. SEC, 415 F.2d 589 (2d Cir. 1969) (broker-
dealer cannot recommend a
security unless an adequate and reasonable basis exists for such
recommendation).
