Revisions to Form S-11 To Permit Historical Incorporation by Reference

Thu, Dec 20 2007 11:00:00 GMT

We are proposing to amend Form S-11, a registration statement used by real estate entities to register offerings under the Securities Act of 1933. The amendments would permit an entity that has filed at least one annual report and that is current in its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to incorporate by reference into Form S11 information from its previously filed Exchange Act reports and documents. The proposed amendments are identical to amendments to Forms S1 and F1 previously adopted by the Commission and effective as of December 1, 2005.
