Eligible issuers
Issuers listed on NYSE and seated outside the EU, who qualify as "US foreign issuer" and whose shares are registered in the US and therefore are required to file with the SEC on Form 20F and Form 6K are eligible to use the fast track procedure. US domiciled and Canadian issuers may also request a fast track procedure for the approval of a prospectus using US documentation filed with the SEC.
