Form 12G3-2B Files Dataset

Form 12G3-2B filings contain written applications submitted by foreign private issuers claiming an exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b). The exemption permitted eligible foreign issuers to have their equity securities quoted in the U.S. over-the-counter market without SEC registration. The SEC eliminated this filing requirement effective October 2008, replacing it with an automatic exemption. The dataset includes all Form 12G3-2B filings submitted to EDGAR from December 2000 until the form was discontinued in October 2008. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the issuer's exemption application, identifying information such as company name, country of incorporation, and principal trading market, along with home-country disclosure documents including annual reports and financial statements.
