Winston’s Takeaways from the Final Outbound Investment Rule
On October 28, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Office of Investment Security published the final text of the Outbound Investment Security Program (the Final Rule). The Final Rule will become effective January 2, 2025. Any “Covered Transaction” entered into on or after that date will be subject to the prohibitions and affirmative legal requirements applicable to “U.S. persons” under the Final Rule. As background, the Final Rule is designed to prevent (or in some cases require notification of) U.S. investments in businesses that could benefit a Country of Concern’s semiconductor-manufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), or quantum-computing capabilities, with a particular focus on investments that would typically be accompanied by intangible benefits such as access to investment and talent networks, enhanced access to additional financing, enhanced standing and prominence, or managerial assistance. Currently, the only designated “Country of Concern” is the People’s Republic of China, including the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau (collectively, China).
