10-04-08.2. Advertising matter - Regulations

1. No circular, prospectus, advertisement, form or market letter, report, document,

pamphlet, leaflet, script, or other written or printed matter, or any communication by

radio, television, or similar communications media, hereinafter referred to as

advertising matter, used in connection with the offer, sale, or rendering investment

advice with respect to any security in this state shall be published, circulated,

distributed, broadcast, or caused to be published, circulated, distributed, or broadcast

in any manner unless and until such advertising matter shall have been filed with the

commissioner at least five business days prior to its first publication, circulation,

distribution, or broadcast, unless such advertising matter pertains to a security or

transaction exempted in section 10-04-05 or 10-04-06, relates to a federal covered

security, or is used by a federal covered adviser.

2. The commissioner may by rule or order and subject to such terms and conditions as

may be prescribed therein exempt any advertising matter from the filing requirement

imposed under subsection 1 if the commissioner finds that the imposition of the filing

requirement is not necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection

of investors.

3. The commissioner has the power to disapprove any advertising matter filed pursuant

to subsection 1 which the commissioner deems in conflict with the purposes of this

chapter.

4. Nothing in this section or section 10-04-04 shall be construed to prohibit the

publication or distribution to the public of a preliminary prospectus, provided that no

solicitation is made or order or conditional order accepted prior to registration in this

state, and provided also that, unless the preliminary prospectus relates to a federal

covered security, the following legend appears on each such prospectus or preliminary

prospectus:

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed but has not yet

become effective. Information contained herein is subject to completion or

amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted

prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus

shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall

there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation,

or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or approval under the securities

laws of any such state.
