Writing for lawyers, managers, and bankers, Bartos, a partner in an international law firm, overviews US security law from the perspective of a non-US participant. Coverage includes public offerings, offerings exempt from US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration, the 1934 Act registration and integrated disclosure requirements, mergers and acquisitions, market regulators and market participants, and financial instruments. Footnotes have been kept to a minimum, and technical references to statutes and rules mentioned in the text have been omitted. For readers wishing to explore certain topics in depth, certain key cases, SEC releases, and no-action letters have been cited. This third edition is updated to reflect recent reforms and corporate governance developments. Annotation 2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
