Instructions of Issuance and Registration of Securities

The Securities Commission has issued binding instructions mandating all domestic securities issuers to register their offerings and submit comprehensive prospectuses for regulatory approval. The framework standardizes public and non-public offers by requiring effective prospectuses, defining subscription procedures through banks or market trading, and detailing capital increase mechanisms. Issuers must adhere to strict disclosure timelines, advertise material changes in local newspapers, and obtain prior regulatory clearance for cross-border offerings to ensure investor protection.
