New Mexico Administrative Code
Title 12 - TRADE, COMMERCE AND BANKING
Chapter 11 - SECURITIES
Part 10 - SMALL COMPANY OFFERING REGISTRATION (SCOR)
Section 12.11.10.14 - EFFECTIVENESS

A. The company should expect that the director may have comments and questions concerning the answers set forth on form U-7 and that changes may be required to be made to the answers before the registration is declared effective. Comments and questions may either be included in a letter or made by telephone communication initiated by the director in response to the filing. Comments may include requests for disclosure of additional information or may also require that certain terms of the offering be modified to comply with the state's substantive fairness criteria. Failure to resolve outstanding comments may lead to denial of registration.

B. No offers or sales may be made in this state until the registration has been declared effective by the director. To make offers or sales before the registration is effective could lead to a stop order or other proceeding which would preclude use of SCOR in this or any other state and could give rise to a right of rescission by investors enforceable against management, principal stockholders and the selling agents, as well as the company. When the registration has been declared effective in this state, offers and sales may be made in this state even though registration in other states has not been declared effective. The registration statement will be effective only for the time period specified by the director, which may be different for different states; however, no registration statement shall remain effective for a period greater than one year unless an extension is granted by the director.

C. After the registration has been declared effective and while the offering is still in progress, if any portion of the form U-7 should need to be changed or revised because of a material event concerning the company or the offering to make it accurate and complete, it shall be so changed, revised, or supplemented. If changed, revised or supplemented (including an addition on the cover page of another state in which the offering has been registered) the form U-7 as so changed, revised or supplemented, clearly marked to show changes from the previously filed version, should be filed and cleared with the director before use. If any of the changes or revisions are of such significance that they are material to the making of an investment decision by an investor, the disclosure document on this form as so changed, revised or supplemented should be recirculated to persons in this state that have previously subscribed and who should be given the opportunity to rescind or reconfirm their investment.

D. Options, warrants and similar rights to purchase securities constitute a continuous offering of the underlying securities during the exercise period and require the securities to be registered and the disclosure document to be kept continuously current throughout the exercise period through the use of the amendment procedure set forth in Subsection C of this section or by means of a supplement, as appropriate. Upon any change, revision or supplement to the disclosure document, a copy must be promptly furnished to the holders of options, warrants and similar rights.
