Rule 104 requires that participants in
a distribution collect the required information and provide the
required notice regarding stabilizing, syndicate covering
transactions, and penalty bids. The proposed amendments would
require managing underwriters to identify or designate syndicate
covering bids as such wherever communicated and would ban the use
of penalty bids. The Commission does not receive this information
and only examines it in the event of investigation. Investors, and
the market in general, use this information in evaluating the price
of the security in distribution.
The increase in burden hours
from 159 to 170 hours is due to an increase in the number of firm
commitment offerings from 795 to 848.
