Speech By SEC Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar: Re-designing The Eligibility Criteria For Short-Form Registration
Today the SEC is considering whether to adopt amendments to the eligibility criteria of its short-form registration process. Up to now, credit ratings have been used to determine whether a securities offering is eligible for the SEC’s streamlined short-form registration process. Under the rules in effect since 1982, a primary offering of debt securities deemed “investment grade” by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization may qualify for short-form registration, regardless of the issuer’s public float. As the Commission stated when it adopted short-form registration eligibility requirements, the goal was to “meet the objective of relating short-form registration to the existence of widespread following in the marketplace.”
