These regulations amend the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (the principal regulations).
4 Regulation 5 amended (Interpretation)
In regulation 5(1), definition of quarter, paragraph (b), replace “manager or provider”
with “manager, any other issuer, or the provider”
.
5 New regulation 42B inserted (Requirement to include all material information does not apply to information in supplement for multiple-participant scheme)
After regulation 42A, insert:
42B Requirement to include all material information does not apply to information in supplement for multiple-participant scheme
(1)
This regulation applies to an offer of interests in a multiple-participant scheme.
(2)
Section 57(1)(b)(ii) of the Act does not apply to information contained in relevant supplements that are given to investors under clause 8B of Schedule 4.
(3)
In this clause, multiple-participant scheme and relevant supplement have the same meanings as in clause 8B of Schedule 4.
6 Regulation 49A amended (Offers of convertible financial products)
In regulation 49A, replace “an offer”
with “offers”
.
7 Regulation 49B amended (Requirements that apply to convertibles)
(1)
In regulation 49B, replace “offer”
with “offers of the convertible and the new product”
.
(2)
In regulation 49B, replace the example with:
Example
XYZ Limited makes an offer of debt securities that will convert into ordinary shares. XYZ Limited is not a registered bank (see regulation 49D).
The convertibles are debt securities, while the new products are equity securities.
The PDS will comply with the requirements for a PDS for debt securities (in Schedule 2) rather than those that apply to equity securities (in Schedule 3). The PDS must include the additional information about the new products that is required by Schedule 2.
The register entry will comply with the requirements for debt securities (in Part 2 of Schedule 2) rather than those that apply to equity securities (in Part 2 of Schedule 3).
8 Regulation 49D amended (Convertible debt securities issued by registered banks)
(1)
Replace regulation 49D(2) with:
(2)
The disclosure document must—
(a)
contain all of the information specified in Schedule 9 that is applicable; and
(b)
comply with regulation 23(2).

Replace regulation 49D(5) and (6) with:

Subclause (4) is subject to clause 26 of Schedule 8 (which applies to the register entry with all necessary modifications).
(3)
After regulation 49D(7), insert:
(8)
Nothing in regulation 49B or this regulation limits the application of regulation 72 in relation to the offer of the convertible.
Example
ABC Limited (a registered bank) makes an offer of debt securities that will convert into ordinary shares.
The convertibles are debt securities, while the new products are equity securities.
An offer of the debt securities issued by a registered bank does not require disclosure under Part 3 of the Act (see clause 21 of Schedule 1 of the Act). Instead, a limited disclosure document (LDD) that complies with Schedule 9 is required. However, the offer of the equity securities requires disclosure under Part 3 of the Act.
The disclosure document (which is a PDS for the offer of the equity securities and an LDD for the offer of the debt securities) must comply with the requirements in Schedule 9. Most of the disclosure required by Schedule 9 relates to the debt securities, but that schedule does require some additional information to be included relating to the equity securities.
The register entry for the offer of equity securities must comply with the requirements for debt securities (in Part 2 of Schedule 2) rather than those that apply to equity securities (in Part 2 of Schedule 3).
