GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

I. Eligibility Requirements for Use of Form F-1

A. Form F-1 shall be used for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) of securities of all foreign private issuers

as defined in Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter) for which no other form is authorized or prescribed.

In addition, this form shall not be used for an offering of asset-backed securities, as defined in 17 CFR 229.1101.

B. If a registrant is a majority-owned subsidiary, which does not itself meet the conditions of these eligibility requirements, it shall

nevertheless be deemed to have met such conditions if its parent meets the conditions and if the parent fully guarantees the securities

being registered as to principal and interest. Note: In such an instance the parent-guarantor is the issuer of a separate security

consisting of the guarantee which must be concurrently registered but may be registered on the same registration statement as are

the guaranteed securities. Both the parent-guarantor and the subsidiary shall each disclose the information required by this Form

as if each were the only registrant except that if the subsidiary will not be eligible to file annual reports on Form 20-F after the

effective date of the registration statement, then it shall disclose the information specified in Forms S-1 (§239.11 of this chapter).

Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (§210.3-10 of this chapter) specifies the financial statements required.

II. Application of General Rules and Regulations

A. Attention is directed to the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act, particularly Regulation C (§230.400 et seq. of

this chapter) thereunder. That Regulation contains general requirements regarding the preparation and filing of registration statements.

B. Attention is directed to Regulation S-K (§229.22 of this chapter) and Form 20-F (§249.220f of this chapter) for the requirements

applicable to the content of registration statements under the Securities Act. Where this Form directs the registrant to furnish

information required by Regulation S-K or Form 20-F and the item of Regulation S-K or Form 20-F so provides, information need

only be furnished to the extent appropriate.

C. A registrant must file the Form F-1 registration statement in electronic format via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering

and Retrieval System (EDGAR) in accordance with the EDGAR rules set forth in Regulation S-T (17 CFR part 232), except that

a registrant that has obtained a hardship exception under Regulation S-T Rule 201 or 202 (17 CFR 232.201 or 232.202) may file

the registration statement in paper. For assistance with EDGAR questions, call the Filer Support Office at (202) 551-8900.

III. Exchange Offers

If any of the securities being registered are to be offered in exchange for securities of any other issuer the prospectus shall also

include the information which would be required by Item 11 if the securities of such other issuer were registered on this Form. If such 

other issuer is not eligible to use this Form F-1, then the prospectus shall include the information which would be required by Item 11 of 

Form S-1 (§239.11 of this chapter) if the securities of such other issuer were being registered on Form S-1. There shall also be included the 

information concerning such securities of such other issuer which would be called for by Item 9 if such securities were being registered. 

In connection with this instruction, reference is made to Rule 409 (§229.501 of this chapter).

IV. Roll-up Transactions

If the securities to be registered on this Form will be issued in a roll-up transaction as defined in Item 901(c) of Regulation S-K (17

CFR 229.901(c)), attention is directed to the requirements of Form S-4 applicable to roll-up transactions, including, but not limited to,

may file a registration statement consisting only of the following: the facing page; a statement that the contents of the earlier registration 

statement, identified by file number, are incorporated by reference; required opinions, consents, and filing fee-related information; 

the signature page; and any price-related information omitted from the earlier registration statement in reliance on Rule 430A that the 

registrant chooses to include in the new registration statement. The information contained in such a Rule 462(b) registration statement 

shall be deemed to be a part of the earlier registration statement as of the date of effectiveness of the Rule 462(b) registration statement. 

Any opinion or consent required in the Rule 462(b) registration statement may be incorporated by reference from the earlier registration 

statement with respect to the offering, if: (i) such opinion or consent expressly provides for such incorporation; and (ii) such opinion 

relates to the securities registered pursuant to Rule 462(b). See Rule 439(b) under the Securities Act [17 CFR 230.439(b)].

funds, and does not include any amount of a required fee satisfied through a claimed fee offset. Instructions 3.B.ii and 3.C.ii require

are the original source to which the fee offsets claimed on this filing can be traced. See Instruction 3.D for an example.

filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee.

If claiming an offset from a Securities Act registration statement, provide a detailed explanation of the basis for the claimed offset.

ii. Fee Offset Sources.

With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(b) or Rule 0-11(a)(2), identify those submissions with

contemporaneous fee payments that are the original source to which those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the information that Table 2 requires under the heading “Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2)” for the line item “Fee Offset Sources”. The 

“Fee Paid with Fee Offset Source” column requires the dollar amount of the contemporaneous fee payment made with respect each 

identified submission that is the source of the fee offset claimed pursuant to Rule 457(b) or 0-11(a)(2).

C. Rule 457(p).

If relying on Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act (§230.457(p) of this chapter) to offset some or all of the filing fee

i. Fee Offset Claims.

For each such earlier filed registration statement from which the registrant is claiming a filing fee offset, provide the 

information Table 2 requires under the heading “Rule 457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Claims”. The “Fee Offset Claimed” column 

requires the dollar amount of the previously paid filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee. 

Notes to Instruction 3.C.i.

1. Provide a statement that the registrant has either withdrawn each prior registration statement or has terminated or completed any

offering that included the unsold securities under the prior registration statements.

2. If you were not the registrant under the earlier registration statements, entering information under the heading “Rule 457(p)” pursuant to Instruction 3.C.i affirms that you are that registrant’s successor, majority-owned subsidiary, or parent owning more than 50%

of the registrant’s outstanding voting securities eligible to claim a filing fee offset. See the definitions of “successor” and “majorityowned subsidiary” in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (§230.405 of this chapter).

ii. Fee Offset Sources.

With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(p), identify those submissions with contemporaneous 

fee payments that are the original source to which those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the information Table 2 requires under the heading “Rule 457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Sources”. The “Fee Paid with Fee Offset Source” 

column requires the dollar amount of the contemporaneous fee payment made with respect to each identified submission that that is 

the source of the fee offset claimed pursuant to Rule 457(p).

D. Fee Offset Source Submission Identification Example.

A filer:

• Initially files a registration statement on Form F-1 on 1/15/20X1 (assigned file number 333-123456) with a fee

payment of $10,000;

• Files pre-effective amendment number 1 to the Form F-1 (333-123456) on 2/15/20X1 with a fee payment of

$15,000 and the registration statement goes effective on 2/20/20X1;

• Initially files a registration statement on Form F-1 on 1/15/20X4 (assigned file number 333-123467) with a fee

payment of $25,000 and relies on Rule 457(p) to claim an offset of $10,000 related to the unsold securities registered on the previously 

filed Form F-1 (333-123456) and apply it to the $35,000 filing fee due and the registration statement goes effective on 2/15/20X4.

• Initially files a registration statement on Form F-1 (assigned file number 333-123478) on 1/15/20X7 with a fee

payment of $15,000 and relies on Rule 457(p) to claim an offset of $30,000 related to the unsold securities registered on the most 

recently effective Form F-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 and apply it to the $45,000 filing fee due. 

For the registration statement on Form F-1 with file number 333-123478 filed on 1/15/20X7, the filer can satisfy the submission identification requirement when it claims the $30,000 fee offset from the Form F-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 by referencing any combination of the Form F-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4, the pre-effective amendment to the Form F-1 (333-123456) 

filed on 2/15/20X1 or the initial filing of the Form F-1 (333-123456) on 1/15/20X1 in relation to which contemporaneous fee payments were made equal to $30,000. 

One example could be: 

• the Form F-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 in relation to the payment of $25,000 made with that submission;

and

• the pre-effective amendment to the Form F-1 (333-123456) filed on 2/15/20X1 in relation to the payment of $5,000
11

out of the payment of $15,000 made with that submission (it would not matter if the filer cited to this pre-effective amendment and/or 

the initial submission of this Form F1 (333-123456) on 1/15/20X1 as long as singly or together they were cited 

as relating to a total of $5,000 in this example).

In this example, the filer could not satisfy the submission identification requirement solely by citing to the Form F-1 (333-

123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 because even though the offset claimed and available from that filing was $30,000, the contemporaneous 

fee payment made with that filing ($25,000) was less than the offset being claimed. As a result, the filer must also identify a prior 

submission or submissions with an aggregate of contemporaneous fee payment(s) of $5,000 as the original source(s) to which the rest 

of the claimed offset can be traced.

4. Table 3: Combined Prospectuses.

If this Form includes a combined prospectus pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.429 of this chapter), provide 

the information that Table 3 requires for each earlier effective registration statement that registered securities that may be offered and 

sold using the combined prospectus. Include a separate row for each unique combination of security type and title of each class of 

those securities. The amount of securities previously registered that may be offered and sold using the combined prospectus must be 

expressed in terms of the number of securities (under column heading “Amount of Securities Previously Registered”), or, if the related 

filing fee was calculated in reliance on Rule 457(o), must be expressed in terms of the maximum aggregate offering price (under column heading “Maximum Aggregate Offering Price of Securities Previously Registered”)”.

Note to Instruction 4.

Table 1 should not include the securities registered on an earlier effective registration statement that may be offered and sold using the 

combined prospectus under Rule 429.

Item 9. Undertakings.

Furnish the undertakings required by Item 512 of Regulation S-K.
