"Price amendment" means the final Federal amendment which includes a statement of the offering price, underwriting and selling discounts or commissions, amount of proceeds, conversion rates, call prices and other matters dependent upon the offering price. Upon failure to receive the required notification and post-effective amendment with respect to the price amendment, the department may enter a stop order, without notice or hearing, retroactively denying effectiveness to the registration statement or suspending its effectiveness until compliance with this subsection is effected, if it promptly notifies the registrant by telephone or telegram of the issuance of such order. If the registrant proves compliance with the requirements of this subsection as to notice and post-effective amendment, the stop order shall be vacated as of the time of its entry. The department may by regulation or order waive any of the conditions specified in subsection (b) or (c).(e) If the Federal registration statement becomes effective before all the conditions in this section are satisfied and they are not waived, the registration statement automatically becomes effective as soon as all the conditions are satisfied. If the registrant advises the department of the date when the Federal registration statement is expected to become effective, the department shall promptly advise the registrant in a manner determined by the department, whether all the conditions are satisfied and whether it then contemplates the institution of a proceeding under section 208; but this advice by the department does not preclude the institution of such a proceeding at any time.Amended by P.L. 678 2014 No. 52, § 5, eff. 8/9/2014.1972, Dec. 5, P.L. 1280, No. 284, § 205, effective Jan. 1, 1973.
