The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius amended the Securities (Preferential Offer) Rules 2017 to clarify their territorial scope and update approval procedures for preferential securities offerings. The revisions exclude foreign-incorporated issuers and those offering exclusively to non-residents, while mandating shareholder approval with annexed information for equity offers and constitutional document compliance for debt offerings. Additional textual amendments refine cross-references, update regulatory authority identification under the IOSCO Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding, and establish an effective date of 3 April 2021.
