Regulation E (17 CFR 230.601— 230.610a) exempts from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.)

(‘‘Investment Company Act’’) or a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (‘‘BDC’’) under the Investment Company Act, so long as the aggregate offering price of all securities of the issuer that may be sold within a 12-month period does not exceed $5,000,000 and certain other conditions are met. Rule 607 under Regulation E (17 CFR 230.607) entitled, ‘‘Sales material to be filed,’’ requires sales material used in connection with securities offerings under Regulation E to be filed with the Commission at least five days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to its use.1 Commission staff reviews sales material filed under rule 607 for materially misleading statements and omissions. The requirements of rule 607 are designed to protect investors from the use of false or misleading sales material in connection with Regulation E offerings. Respondents to this collection of information include SBICs and BDCs making an offering of securities pursuant to Regulation E. No filings were submitted to the Commission under rule 607 in 2019, 2020 or 2021.
