Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form CB-Tender Offer/Rights Offering Notification Form

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is soliciting comments on the collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval.

An entity conducting an exempt cross-border business combination or rights offering is required to file a Form CB (17 CFR 249.480) to the extent the party would have had a filing obligation if the transaction were not eligible for the exemption. Form CB is intended to help the Commission determine whether a transaction meets the eligibility requirements of the exemptive rules. Form CB also helps to ensure that information about the transaction is publicly available in order to help security holders make informed investment decisions. We estimate that approximately 49 respondents make one Form CB filing per year, for a total of approximately 49 responses annually. We estimate that respondents incur approximately 0.12 burden hours per Form CB filing, for a total annual reporting burden of 6 hours (0.12 hours per response × 49 responses). We estimate that respondents incur $225 cost burden per Form CB filing, for a total annual cost burden of $11,025 ($225 cost per response × 49 responses).

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to PaperworkReductionAct@sec.gov by November 9, 2026.
