- BRequire immediate filing with available information and a follow-up amendment if needed✓ Correct answer
- CPermit delay if the issuer promises to inform investors directly
- DTake no action unless investors complain
Explanation
Why B — Require immediate filing with available information and a follow-up amendment if needed
The USA (Section 305) requires prompt amendment for material changes. The Administrator will expect timely disclosure with subsequent updates as clarity improves. Delay (A, C) or inaction (D) violates the Act.
