Heads up: The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has posted dozens of new Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

One set relates to Exchange Act Rule 13e-3 as it applies to “going private” transactions and related Schedule 13E-3. The other relates to the rules adopted under the Securities Act.

The going private C&DIs replace the Rule 13e-3 and Schedule 13E-3 interpretations in the July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, the July 2001 Interim Supplement to the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, and the November 2000 Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Outline. Some of the C&DIs were originally published elsewhere and have been revised in some cases.
