Reporting of Securities Ownership by Investors

Subsection 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is presently applicable to classes of equity
securities which are registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or which would be
required to be registered pursuant to that Section
except for a specific statutory exemption for
insurance companies, or which have been issued by a
closed-end investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, Subsection
13(d) requires, subject to certain limited
exemptions, that any person (or group of persons)
who makes any acquisition of securities which results
in that person being the direct or indirect
beneficial owner of more than 5% of a class of such
securities must, within 10 days after the acquisition,
send to the issuer of such securities and to any
national securities exchange on which such securities
are listed and file with the Commission a statement
on Schedule 13D disclosing, among other things, back-
ground information regarding that person, his source
of funds, his purpose in effecting the acquisition,
his interest in the securities of the issuer.
Subsection 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 makes it unlawful for any person (or group of
persons) to make a tender offer for or a request or
invitation for tenders of registered equity securities
which, if successful, would result in that person
being the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more
than 5% of a class of such securities unless that
person at the time of publication or distribution of
the tender offer, has filed with the Commission a
statement disclosing the information specified in
Subsection 13(d) as well as information required by
the Commission's rules.

Any person who directly or indirectly becomes, the
beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of equity
securities of a publicly owned company or who is a
director or officer of the issuer of such security
shall file a Form 3..

Subsection 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires any person who directly or indirectly becomes the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of equity securities of a publicly owned company or who is a director or officer of the issuer of such security to file a Form 3.

Forms
