Important Regulations

The marketing of private placements is governed by two principal pieces of legislation in the UK: The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (FPO). Also, in certain circumstances where there is an offer to the public, the Prospectus Regulations 2005 may apply subject to the available exemptions from the requirement to provide a prospectus available for private placements.
