Concept Release on Foreign Private Issuer Eligibility

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued this concept release to solicit comments on revising the definition of a foreign private issuer. The agency determined that significant changes in the FPI population, including shifts in home country jurisdictions and increased reliance on U.S. capital markets, may no longer align with the original intent of current regulatory accommodations. The Commission seeks input on potential updates to eligibility criteria, such as foreign trading volume requirements and mutual recognition systems, to better balance investor protection with capital formation.
