Series 63 practice questionhardFiling—Eligibility
A well-established issuer with a class of securities listed on the NYSE seeks to register a new offering in State L by Filing. The Administrator discovers that the issuer missed an annual report filing with the SEC two years ago. Under the USA, the Administrator may:
- AAllow registration by Filing since the issuer is NYSE-listed
- BDeny registration by Filing due to lack of continuous SEC reporting✓ Correct answer
- CRequire the issuer to register by Coordination instead
- DAutomatically approve the registration by Qualification
Explanation
Why B — Deny registration by Filing due to lack of continuous SEC reporting
To register by Filing (USA Section 303(a)), the issuer must have timely SEC filings for the past 36 months. Missing an annual report breaks this eligibility, so the Administrator may deny. C and D are not automatic.
