  • Statement On The Final Rule: Prohibition Against Conflicts Of Interest In Certain Securitizations, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, Nov. 27, 2023

    Date 27/11/2023

    Today, the Commission adopted Rule 192 under the Securities Act of 1933 to implement Section 621 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Section 621 is intended to prohibit those involved in the securitization process from profiting from the securities’ failures. While the Commission’s initial 2011 proposal to implement Section 621 largely tracked the text of Section 621, commenters expressed concerns that this approach lacked clarity regarding the scope of prohibited and permitted conduct. When re-proposing Rule 192 earlier this year, the Commission provided greater detail in the rule text, including the types of transactions that constitute “conflicted transactions” prohibited by the rule and defining certain key terms used in the rule. The Commission stated that its re-proposed rule “would provide strong protection against material conflicts of interest while not unnecessarily hindering routine securitization activities that do not give rise to the risks that Section [621] was intended to address.”

  • Unsettling End Of An Era: Statement On Adoption Of Rule Prohibiting Conflicts Of Interest In Certain Securitizations, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Nov. 27, 2023Money

    Date 27/11/2023

    Although not covering as many eras as this year’s most watched concert tour, this rulemaking comes close. Like its musical counterpart, a rule that is more than a decade and multiple iterations in the making should be really good. This rule, with its lingering ambiguities and over-breadth, may not be. It certainly is better than what we proposed, but it is also different enough from the proposal that public comment on the new approach is necessary to ensure that we got it right this time. Even a short comment period on the new rule text would have helped to ensure that the rule prohibits securitization participants from betting against securitizations without stopping risk mitigating hedging, market-making, and other ordinary course transactions. As burdensome as it would have been for the Commission and commenters to formally re-engage, the consequences of getting this rule wrong loom large enough to warrant one more round of comment. Accordingly, I dissent.
