Overview: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 applies to any issuer, including any non-US issuer, that has securities registered or is required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ôExchange Actö). It also applies to an issuer that has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 that is not yet effective. The Act does not apply to issuers who merely submit information under Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act. The Act contains no explicit exemption for foreign private issuers. This article highlights the implications of the Act for foreign private issuers.
