Third Thursday Emerging Company Webinar Series
Highly anticipated since the enactment of major Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reform legislation over 18 months ago, the final rules implementing the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) went into effect on February 13, 2020. These new rules authorize CFIUS to exercise broad oversight with respect to an expanded range of investments in U.S. business that goes far beyond its historical scope. The new rules have quickly caught the attention of venture capital and antitrust advisors, groups like the National Venture Capital Association and, increasingly, technology companies and their investors across a wide spectrum of industries, including everything from telecom to digital health to biotech.
This program will cover the following topics:
- What has the historical role of CFIUS been?
- How have FIRRMA and the new regulations changed things?
- As a technology company seeking an investment, or a venture fund making one, what do you need to know?
- What’s the meaning of all these buzzwords—e.g., ”foreign person,” “triggering rights,” “TID U.S. business,” “emerging and foundational technologies,” “excepted investor”—you’ve heard about?
- If you have a filing obligation with CFIUS under FIRRMA, what does that mean? And what if you don’t comply?
