2016-11-15 | DOF 5460970Added
The CNBV amends the General Provisions to allow securities issuers to cancel a listing on one exchange and list on another by requiring prior board approval, simultaneous submission of cancellation and listing requests at least ten business days in advance, and publication of relevant events. The resolution lowers the public float requirement for large issuers to at least 15% of share capital or a reference in investment units, reduces the minimum number of shareholders to 100, and raises the qualified investor threshold for restricted public offerings to 20 million investment units. It also mandates that issuers with a placement amount of at least 950 million investment units representing less than 12% of capital must establish a repurchase fund and hire a market maker.

DOF: 15/11/2016
RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to securities issuers and other participants in the securities market
At the margin, a seal with the National Coat of Arms, which reads: United Mexican States.- Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.
The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on the provisions of Articles 2, fractions VII and XVI of the Securities Market Law; 4, fractions XXXVI and XXXVIII and 16, fraction I of the National Banking and Securities Commission Law, and
CONSIDERING
That it is convenient to establish the manner and terms in which securities issuers may request the cancellation of the listing of securities they maintain on a stock exchange to list them on a different one, while establishing the obligations that these issuers must comply with for this purpose, with the objective that the general investing public and the securities market have relevant and timely information, as well as to establish alternatives for the securities market to be deeper and more dynamic;
That in order to encourage a greater number of placements of instruments representing capital in the securities market of large issuers, it is necessary to determine that for listing purposes on stock exchanges, the percentage of share capital that must be placed with the investing public may be at least 15 percent or a reference in investment units, which will allow issuers with high share capital to place their shares with the investing public, safeguarding at all times the exercise of corporate and patrimonial rights of said investors;
That as a result of observed experience, the issuance of shares placed with the investing public exceeds the current threshold, so in order to continue with the incorporation of new issuers into the securities market, it is convenient to reduce this number of investors among whom the offer will be distributed, and
That it is necessary to make some adjustments to the persons who may be considered to participate in a restricted public offer, it has resolved to issue the following:

GENERAL GUIDELINES
This instruction includes the information disclosure requirements to which issuances of investment project trust securities, carried out by financial institutions in their capacity as trustee, must adhere for the preparation of placement prospectuses, informative booklets, and informative supplements with the aim of obtaining registration in the Registry and authorization for public offers of alienation and/or subscription of said instruments.
The preliminary placement prospectus must include the most recent information known as of the date of submission of the application. Regarding the definitive placement prospectus, said information must be updated, to the extent relevant, to the date of placement, except in cases where the general provisions and this instruction specify a certain date or period.
In the event that certain subsections or chapters of this instruction are not applicable to the specific assets, rights, or securities backing the issuance in question, it will not be necessary to develop them; however, depending on the case, equivalent information must be provided. Likewise, if certain information required in any section of this instruction has been included in another chapter of the placement prospectus, it will not be necessary to include it again, only a reference to the chapter in which it is found must be made.
The order in which the chapters of the prospectus are presented must adhere to this instruction, unless the Commission, in the case of global offers, authorizes a different order, in which case, a summary table indicating the chapters where the requirements contained in this instruction are incorporated must be included.
In the preparation of the prospectus, clear and easy-to-understand language must always be used, avoiding the use of technical terms or complicated legal formalisms that cannot be easily understood by a person who does not have specialized knowledge in the subject matter.
Likewise, superlative terms and value judgments must be avoided; however, if deemed necessary, they must be adequately justified.
The placement prospectus must include strictly descriptive information about the characteristics of the issuance and must not contain recommendations, analysis, or opinions on the possible viability of the investment.
For the purposes of this instruction, the informative supplement and informative booklet will also be understood as the placement prospectus, except when indicated otherwise.
A)
Principle of Relevance
In addition to the information explicitly required in the various subsections contained in this instruction, all relevant information must be provided.
This principle must be followed in the preparation of the prospectus when determining the depth and breadth with which the various topics established in this instruction must be developed.
It is the responsibility of the persons who sign the document to determine what information is relevant in the context of the particular characteristics of each issuer and the structure of the issuance in question. When determining what information is relevant, both quantitative and qualitative factors must be taken into account.
B)
External Information Sources and Expert Declarations
When a report, statistic, or other information contained in the placement prospectus has been obtained from a public information source, it must be cited, and when the information comes from an expert, a declaration must be added indicating that said information has been included with the consent of the person.
C)
Global Offers
In the event that authorization is requested to carry out a global public offer, all information that the legal provisions of the countries where the securities are offered require them to include in the placement prospectus distributed in national territory must be included, in addition to the information required in this instruction, eliminating those sections that are not considered applicable or relevant to Mexican investors.
In the event that the issuer carries out a public offer in Mexico and simultaneously carries out a public offer in any other market and the latter is carried out under terms and conditions different from those established for the offer in national territory, said terms and conditions must be disclosed in the corresponding chapters.
D)
Currency Denomination
All figures presented must be expressed in the same currency as the financial statements, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus or supplement. Regarding figures denominated in foreign currency, when the issuer considers it convenient to present a conversion of said figures to Mexican pesos, the exchange rate of the date of the last period presented or that corresponding according to the applicable accounting regulations must be used.
In any case, the exchange rate used to convert the figures to Mexican pesos must be indicated. Likewise, the date of the exchange rate(s) used, as well as the official source and technical specifications thereof (for example, closing exchange rate, average, etc.) must be indicated.
Likewise, the type of conversion used must be indicated, and in the event that the exchange rate in effect on the date of the last period presented was chosen, clarify that said conversion was made solely for the purpose of facilitating reading and understanding for investors, mentioning that these should not be interpreted as statements that the amounts in the currency used to prepare the financial statements actually equate to those amounts in Mexican pesos or that they can be converted to Mexican pesos according to the indicated exchange rate.
