(3)    Copies of any other information or any other records filed by the issuer under the Securities Act of 1933 requested by the director; and

(4)    An undertaking to forward each amendment to the federal prospectus, other than an amendment that delays the effective date of the registration statement, promptly after it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(c) Conditions for effectiveness of registration statement. A registration statement under this section becomes effective simultaneously with or subsequent to the federal registration statement when all the following conditions are satisfied:

(1)    A stop order under subsection (d) or § 47-31B-306 or issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission is not in effect and a proceeding is not pending against the issuer under § 47-31B-306; and

(2)    The registration statement has been on file for at least twenty days or a shorter period provided by rule adopted or order issued under this chapter.

(d) Notice of federal registration statement effectiveness. The registrant shall promptly notify the director in a record of the date when the federal registration statement becomes effective and the content of any price amendment and shall promptly file a record containing the price amendment. If the notice is not timely received, the director may issue a stop order, without prior notice or hearing, retroactively denying effectiveness to the registration statement or suspending its effectiveness until compliance with this section. The director shall promptly notify the registrant of an order by telegram, telephone, or electronic means and promptly confirm this notice by a record. If the registrant subsequently complies with the notice requirements of this section, the stop order is void as of the date of its issuance.

(e) Effectiveness of registration statement. If the federal registration statement becomes effective before each of the conditions in this section is satisfied or is waived by the director, the registration statement is automatically effective under this chapter when all the conditions are satisfied or waived. If the registrant notifies the director of the date when the federal registration statement is expected to become effective, the director shall promptly notify the registrant by telegram, telephone, or electronic means and promptly confirm this notice by a record, indicating whether all the conditions are satisfied or waived and whether the director intends the institution of a proceeding under § 47-31B-306. The notice by the director does not preclude the institution of such a proceeding.
