The exemption from SEC registration that you have probably never heard of: The implications for Deutsche Boerse issuers, their global investors and their employees
On August 27, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rule amendments to their Rule 12g3-2(b) making most non-U.S. companies exempt from SEC registration and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The “Private Foreign Issuer Exemption” has subsequently been used by many hundreds of international companies to improve access to the U.S. investor through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and home market exchange-listed ordinary shares.
This webcast will take a “deep dive” into the exemption and how its requirements are substantially different from the listing requirements for the U.S. stock exchanges.
Finally, we will look at what the exemption means in 2026 for U.S. and global investors looking to invest in Europe as well as the implications for U.S.-based employees of Deutsche Börse issuers.
