Rule 13e-1 was added to the Exchange
Act to make it unlawful for an issuer who has received notice that
it is the subject of a tender offer made under Section 14(d)(1) of
the Act which has commenced under Rule 14d-2 to purchase any equity
securities during the tender offer unless it first files a
statement with the Commission containing the required
information.
The proposed rule amendments
would modernize filing fee disclosure and payment methods. The
proposed amendments would revise most fee-bearing forms, schedules,
statements, and related rules to require each fee table and
accompanying disclosure to include all required information for fee
calculation in a structured format using Inline XBRL. The proposed
amendments also would add the option for fee payment via ACH and
eliminate the option for fee payment via paper checks and money
orders. Finally, the proposed amendments also would make other
fee-related revisions. The Commission anticipates that the
amendments would, in the aggregate, increase the burdens and costs
on affected entities due to changes in fee calculation disclosure
requirements and the new requirement to structure fee-related
information. For purposes of the PRA, the Commission estimates
that, for Rule 13e-1, the proposed amendments would result in an
increase of 3 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of
$4,000 for the services of outside professionals.
