The SEC has proposed new Rule l2h-6 under the 1934 Act that would allow a foreign private issuer to terminate its registration of a class of equity securities under 1934 Act Section 12(g) and its resulting Section 13(a) reporting obligations or terminate, and not merely suspend, its Section 15(d) reporting obligations regarding a class of equity securities as long as the issuer meets specified criteria designed to measure U.S. market interest for that class of securities; and terminate, and not merely suspend, its Section 15(d) reporting obligations regarding a class of debt securities as long as it meets conditions similar to the current requirements for suspending its reporting obligations relating to that class of debt securities.
