My .02 is that if the the new rules go into effect as stated, all companies will need current information.

FACT SHEET

Publication or Submission of Quotations Without Specified Information

Proposed Amendments

The Commission proposed amendments to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11 that are intended to modernize the Rule and better protect retail investors from incidents of fraud and manipulation in over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities. The Rule provides for the publication and submission of quotations by a broker-dealer in a quotation medium for securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Prior to submitting or publishing a quotation, a broker-dealer must review certain basic information about an issuer.

The Commission’s proposed amendments would (i) provide greater transparency to investors and other market participants by requiring that information about the issuer and the security be current and publicly available; (ii) limit certain existing exceptions to the Rule to provide greater protections to retail investors; (iii) reduce regulatory burdens on broker-dealers quoting certain OTC securities that may be less susceptible to potential fraud and manipulation; and (iv) streamline the Rule and remove obsolete provisions without undermining the important investor protections of the Rule.
