The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Memorandum Circular No. 12, Series of 2024, to establish registration guidelines for real estate developers issuing investment contracts, certificates of participation, or profit-sharing agreements through rental pool agreements. The circular mandates specific pre-filing clearances, financial disclosure standards, and a structured 45-day review process for shelf registrations and subsequent offerings. It further outlines post-issuance reporting obligations and penalty clauses to ensure compliance with the Securities Regulation Code and protect investors in real estate non-traditional securities.
