SEC Adopts Securities Offering and Communications Reforms for BDCs and Closed-End Funds

Share
On April 8, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to adopt final rule amendments that modernize the offering related provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and the communications safe harbors available to business development companies (BDCs) and closed-end funds (CEFs), including interval funds but excluding open-end funds, exchange-traded funds and unit investment trusts.  The SEC also adopted accompanying amendments to Form N-2.  The SEC was required to undertake rulemaking with respect to BDCs by the Small Business Credit Availability Act, and to undertake rulemaking with respect to CEFs by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act.  The new rules will allow BDCs and CEFs to use the securities offering and communication rules that are already available to operating companies.
