Fifty Days Left to Comply with the Corporate Transparency Act
Today, November 12, 2024, marks the 50-day countdown to January 1, 2025. Reporting companies created prior to January 1, 2024, must report information concerning their beneficial owners by January 1, 2025. While many company leaders may be understandably focused on closing deals or wrapping up projects by the end of December, they would be wise to ensure their organization’s compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) before heading off to ring in the New Year.

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).

The cooling-off period is the period of time between the public filing of a registration statement with the SEC and the date the registration statement becomes effective. During this period, no sales may take place. Written offers may only be made with a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. Certain oral offers including roadshow presentations may occur during this time along with testing the waters (TTW) activities with certain potential investors.

What Is the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)?
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is the U.S. Government agency that leases offshore areas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) for energy development, including offshore renewable energy such as offshore wind. The organization’s goal is to responsibly manage OCS energy and resources in the interest of energy independence, environmental sustainability, economic development, and national security. BOEM utilizes the expertise of scientists and technical professionals who share information and research that contributes to the bureau’s decision making. The bureau is part of the U.S. Department of Interior. BOEM’s sister agency—the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement or BSEE—enforces offshore safety, environmental and other requirements in tandem with BOEM issued leases and works closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal and state agencies. BOEM has reported that OCS production accounts for approximately 18 percent of the nation’s crude oil supply and 4 percent of the domestic natural gas supply. BOEM is currently engaged in an extensive offshore wind leasing program with a number of leases already existing for wind farms off the U.S. East Coast.
