Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status.
On
Rule 12b-2, in relevant part, states:
. . . Shell company: The term shell company means a registrant, other than an
asset-backed issuer as defined in Item 1101(b) of
(1) No or nominal operations; and
(2) Either: (i) No or nominal assets;
(ii) Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or
(iii) Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
Note: For purposes of this definition, the determination of a registrant's assets (including cash and cash equivalents) is based solely on the amount of assets that would be reflected on the registrant's balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the date of that determination.
In adopting the definition of a shell company in SEC Release No. 33-8587, the Commission stated that it intentionally did not define the term "nominal" and it did not set a quantitative threshold of what constitutes a shell company.
In Release No. 33-8587, the Commission states:
We are not defining the term "nominal," as we believe that this term embodies the principle that we seek to apply and is not inappropriately vague or ambiguous. We have considered the comment that a quantitative threshold would improve the definition of a shell company; however, we believe that quantitative thresholds would, in this context, present a serious potential problem, as they would be more easily circumvented. We believe further specification of the meaning of "nominal" in the definition of a "shell company" is unnecessary and would make circumventing the intent of our regulations and the fraudulent misuse of shell companies easier.
As such, under Rule 12b-2, the threshold for what is considered "nominal" is, to a large degree, subjective and based upon facts and circumstances of each individual case.
Furthermore, Commission Release No. 33-10842, released by the Commission on
…[C]onsistent with Commission guidance regarding the definition of "shell company"… the Commission believes that it is appropriate in the context of this Rule to reiterate that startup companies, or companies that have a limited operating history … are not intended to be captured by the definition of "shell company"… A startup company that has limited operating history would not meet the condition of having "no or nominal operations" in paragraph (e)(9)(i) of the amended Rule's definition of shell company. This is consistent with the Commission's recognition that providing avenues for liquidity encourages investment in companies, to promote opportunities for liquidity in the securities of such start-up companies.
