SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-462, OMB Control No. 3235-0521]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 425
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
Rule 425 (17 CFR 230.425) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires the filing of certain prospectuses and
communications under Rule 135 (17 CFR 230.135) and Rule 165 (17 CFR
230.165) in connection with business combination transactions. The
purpose of the rule is to permit more oral and written communications
with shareholders about tender offers, mergers and other business
combination transactions on a more-timely basis, so long as the written
communications are filed on the date of first use. The information
provided under Rule 425 is made available to the public upon request.
Also, the information provided under Rule 425 is mandatory.
Approximately 7,160 issuers file communications under Rule 425 at an
estimated 0.25 hours per response for a total of 1,790 annual burden
hours (0.25 hours per response x 7,160 responses).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
by January 10, 2024 to (i) <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> and (ii)
