U.S and Trans-Border Securities Regulation

Info

Understanding §12(g) Prior to JOBS Act: Section 12(g), as modified by Rule 12g-1, requires a company to register its class of equity securities with the SEC under the Exchange Act, within 120 days after the last day of its fiscal year, if, at the end of the fiscal year, that class of equity securities is "held of record" by 500 or more persons and the company has "total assets" exceeding $10 million. (c) 2013 Michael K. Krebs All Rights Reserved
A few words about “holders of record” and “street name” ownership Generally speaking, the SEC’s definition of "held of record" counts as holders of record only persons identified as owners on records of security holders maintained by the company in accordance with accepted practice. The SEC uses this definition to simplify the process of determining the applicability of Section 12(g) by allowing a company to look to the holders of its securities as shown on records maintained by it or on its behalf, such as records maintained by the company's transfer agent.
