版权页: 插图: HealthSouth Corporation, an NYSE-listed company, was unable to undertake any customary public offerings due to its dire financial problems and being concerned over SEC's scrutiny over registration statements. It raised $2.4 billion through a "Rule 144A/Exxon Capital Exchange" debt issuance, a capital raising technique named after Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation which in 1988 sought and obtained an SEC no-action letter for use of the structure. A Rule 144A/Exxon Capital Exchange structure involves two steps to achieve a lower cost of capital: aprivate offering to QIBs exempt under SEC Rule 144A, followed by a registered exchange offering to allow the Rule 144A unregistered bonds,which are subject to resale restrictions, to be exchanged for identical registered bonds, which are freely tradable in the public market. Section 11(a) of the Securities Act allows any purchaser of a security to sue the statutorily-specified parties such as the issuer, accountants, underwriters, and signers of the registration statement in respect of the security "in case any part of the registration statement, when such part became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading."Since a QIB's decision to own a registered bond obtained in a 144A/Exxon Capital Exchange occurred before the filing of the registration statement,specifically, when the QIB decided to purchase the unregistered bond, registered bonds acquired through a 144A/Exxon Capital Exchange are not traceable to the registration statement and thus are not protected by Section 11 (a). Ten factors provide an analytical framework for evaluating the efficiency of a bond market, vis-a-vis the efficiency of a stock market, to determine applicability of the Fraud-on-the-Market Theory to the bond market.
