The Rule, set to take effect on July 1, 2014, will impact how market participants provide advice to municipal entities or certain other persons (including conduit borrowers such as nonprofit hospitals) regarding the issuance of municipal securities, or about certain investment strategies or municipal derivatives.
Key takeaways that we will discuss include:
- What hospital borrowers should discuss with their investment bankers regarding the Rule and its implications
- Steps borrowers may want to consider to help ensure that market participants can continue to provide important information
- Additional time being given by the SEC for the investment banking community and the municipal market to further analyze, implement, and comply with the final Rule, along with continued guidance from the SEC and MSRB
