2. Amend Sec. 240.16a-2 by revising the introductory text to read as
follows:
Sec. 240.16a-2 Persons and transactions subject to section 16.
Any person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
more than ten percent of any class of equity securities (``ten percent
beneficial owner'') registered pursuant to section 12 of the Act (15
U.S.C. 78l), any director or officer of the issuer of such securities,
and any person specified in section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-29(h)), including any person specified in Sec.
240.16a-8, shall be subject to the provisions of section 16 of the Act

to ten percent beneficial owners of an issuer that is a foreign private
issuer, as defined in Rule 3b-4 (Sec. 240.3b-4 of this chapter). The
rules under section 16 of the Act apply to any class of equity
securities of an issuer whether or not registered under section 12 of
the Act. The rules under section 16 of the Act also apply to non-equity
securities as provided by the Investment Company Act of 1940. With
respect to transactions by persons subject to section 16 of the Act:
