Vermont § 5303 - Securities registration by coordination

§ 5303. Securities registration by coordination

• (a) A security for which a registration statement has been filed under 15 U.S.C. § 77a et seq. in connection with the same offering may be registered by coordination under
  this section. (b) A registration statement and accompanying records under this section must contain
  or be accompanied by the following records in addition to the information specified
  in section 5305 of this chapter and a consent to service of process complying with
  section 5611 of this chapter: (1) a copy of the latest form of prospectus filed under 15 U.S.C. § 77a et seq.; (2) a copy of the articles of incorporation and bylaws or their substantial equivalents
  currently in effect; a copy of any agreement with or among underwriters; a copy of
  any indenture or other instrument governing the issuance of the security to be registered;
  and a specimen, copy, or description of the security that is required by rule adopted
  or order issued under this chapter; (3) copies of any other information or any other records filed by the issuer under 15 U.S.C. § 77a et seq. requested by the Commissioner; 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) A registration statement under this section becomes effective simultaneously with
  or subsequent to the federal registration statement when both the following conditions
  are satisfied: (1) the issuer or applicant and the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designee have not
  mutually agreed to delay effectiveness for a specified period of time, or a stop order
  issued under subsection (d) of this section or section 5306 of this chapter or by
  the Securities and Exchange Commission is not in effect and a proceeding is not pending
  against the issuer under section 5306 of this chapter; and (2) the registration statement has been on file for at least 20 days or a shorter period
  provided by rule adopted or order issued under this chapter. (d) The registrant shall promptly notify the Commissioner 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 Commissioner 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 Commissioner
  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) If the federal registration statement becomes effective before each of the conditions
  in this section is satisfied or is waived by the Commissioner, the registration statement
  is automatically effective under this chapter when all the conditions are satisfied
  or waived. If the registrant notifies the Commissioner of the date when the federal
  registration statement is expected to become effective, the Commissioner 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 Commissioner intends the institution of a proceeding under section
  5306 of this chapter. The notice by the Commissioner does not preclude the institution
  of such a proceeding. (Added 2005, No. 11, § 1, eff. July 1, 2006.)
