Most of this information remains applicable -- however, some of the information in the articles 9209, 9211, 9212 and 9301 has been superseded by more recent developments in securities law. In any case, they are not intended as particular legal advice since such advice would necessarily encompass current laws and relevant individual facts and circumstances.
