Granting Exemptions From Specified
Provisions of the Exchange Act and
Certain Rules Thereunder
The current outbreak of coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID–19) was first
reported on December 31, 2019 in
Wuhan, China. The staff understands
from entities and their representatives
that COVID–19 may present challenges
in timely meeting certain of their
obligations under the federal securities
laws. These entities may include U.S.
companies with significant operations
in the affected areas, as well as
companies located in those regions. In
light of this, we are issuing this Order
to assist affected entities with meeting
their obligations under the federal
securities laws.
Section 36 of the Exchange Act
authorizes the Commission, by rule,
regulation, or order, to exempt, either

• The Commission intends to monitor
the current situation and may, if
necessary, extend the time period
during which this relief applies, with
any additional conditions the
Commission deems appropriate and/or
issue other relief.
II. Filing Requirements for Registrants
and Other Persons
Disruptions to transportation, and
limited access to facilities, support staff,
and professional advisors as a result of
COVID–19, could hamper the efforts of
public companies and other persons
with filing obligations to meet their
filing deadlines. At the same time,
investors have an interest in the timely
availability of required information
about these companies and the activities
of persons required to file schedules and
reports with respect to these companies.
While the Commission believes that the
relief from filing requirements provided
by the exemption below is necessary
and appropriate in the public interest
and consistent with the protection of
investors, we remind public companies
and other persons who are the subjects
of this Order to continue to evaluate
their obligations to make materially
accurate and complete disclosures in
accordance with the federal securities
laws.
Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 36 of the Exchange Act, that a
registrant (as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 12b–2) subject to the reporting
requirements of Exchange Act Section
13(a) or 15(d), and any person required
to make any filings with respect to such
a registrant, is exempt from any
requirement to file or furnish materials
with the Commission under Exchange
Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a),
14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A,
Regulation 13D–G (except for those
provisions mandating the filing of
Schedule 13D or amendments to
Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and
Exchange Act Rules 13f–1, and 14f–1, as
applicable, where the conditions below
are satisfied.
Conditions
(a) The registrant or any person
required to make any filings with
respect to such a registrant is unable to
meet a filing deadline due to
circumstances related to COVID–19;
(b) Any registrant relying on this
Order furnishes to the Commission a
Form 8–K or, if eligible, a Form 6–K by
