Requirements as to paper, printing, language and pagination.
Registration statements, applications and reports shall be filed on good
quality, unglazed, white paper no larger than 81/2 × 11 inches in
size, insofar as practicable. To the extent that the reduction of larger
documents would render them illegible, such documents may be filed on paper
larger than 81/2 × 11 inches in size.
The registration statement and, insofar as practicable, all papers and
documents filed as a part thereof shall be printed, lithographed,
mimeographed or typewritten. However, the statement or any portion thereof
may be prepared by any similar process which, in the opinion of the
Commission, produces copies suitable for a
permanent record. Irrespective of the process used, all copies of any such
material shall be clear, easily readable and
suitable for repeated photocopying. Debits in credit categories and credits
in debit categories shall be designated so as to be clearly distinguishable
as such on photocopies.
All Securities Act filings and submissions must be in the
English language, except as otherwise provided by this section. If a
registration statement or other filing requires the inclusion of a document
that is in a foreign language, the filer must submit instead a fair and
accurate English translation of the entire foreign language document, except
as provided by paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
If a registration statement or other filing or submission subject to
review by the Division of Corporation Finance requires the inclusion of a
foreign language document as an exhibit or attachment, the filer must submit

filer must provide a copy of any foreign language document upon the request
of Commission staff.

or other documents filed under the Act shall be numbered sequentially (in addition to any
