The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Cross Border 2009: Cross-Border Tender Offers & Other Emerging Issues for 2009
New York, NY, March 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast on the “Cross Border 2009: Cross-Border Tender Offers & Other Emerging Issues for 2009”. This two-hour event is scheduled on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, at 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (ET – New York).
The SEC revised its rules on cross-border tender offers and business combinations in August 2008, aiming to ease the way for U.S. investments in foreign transactions. The new rules make it easier for foreign issuers of securities to make use of the “cross-border exemption” that allow them to avoid registering their securities with the SEC if they maintain registration of the securities in their primary trading markets. The SEC also revamped the disclosure requirements for cross-border transactions and changed some reporting deadlines. Learning about these new requirements will be crucial for companies to compete in an increasingly globalized economy.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of noted experts on cross-border transactions to help foreign and U.S. enterprises understand how the new requirements might affect their tender offers, mergers and other transactions. Panel members will share their expertise in a two-hour Live Webcast.
Speakers/Faculty Panel
James J. Moloney, Partner and Co-Chair, Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance Practice Group, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP
