  • U.S. REGULATIONS’ LEGAL “GUILLOTINE” | Tekapult

    U.S. REGULATIONS’ LEGAL “GUILLOTINE” FOR UNWARY COMPANY EXECUTIVES Knowledge of U.S. industry-specific regulations and federal laws are imputed to corporate executives. Such a blame may be attributed regardless of their intent to commit or actual knowledge of their company’s law violations involving anti-competition, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, lobbyist/foreign agent registration, fraud, and U.S. Russia-related sanctions which must be com plied with by non-sanctioned companies. The wrongful conduct could be perpetrated by the company’s employees, subsidiaries, business associates or suppliers, who collectively generate thousands of emails, texts, social media posts and solicited or unsolicited promises and opinions. A long arm of the U.S. agencies, departments, or commissions enforcing U.S. criminal and civil laws may reach any company or individual in the world. Thus, all participants in local and global economies must comply with U.S. laws, regulations and rules related to each aspect of their business. The cases of Apple, VW, Audi, Uber, Enron, WorldCom, Takata, UBS, PNC, HSBC Holdings, Barclays PLC, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase & Co., AIG, RBS, Deutsche Bank AG, Société Générale, Qualcomm, McKinsey & Company, IBM, Intel, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse Securities (USA), and Wells Fargo show that no one is immune to U.S. government’s civil claims and criminal charges. Said companies’ losses and damages comprised: Awards and cost of defense in consumers’ class action lawsuits Stock-drop or company breakup/ dissolution/ bankruptcy Litigation-dedicated time of key employees Loss of employees’ pension benefits Shame and reputational cost for executives and board members Criminal charges against the executives Well-educated, experienced and hard-working executives of these companies by and large intended to do good for their companies. They considered advice of excellent attorneys and consultants, checked the company’s Code of Business Conduct, and cleared their decisions in most cases by the board of directors or management committees. One intuitive explanation of why these legal disasters occurred is that the companies lacked focused digests of legal requirements related to their business and coming from: The annual 50-title Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) codifying the permanent rules and regulations (“administrative law”) published in the Federal Register (82,036 pages of Regulations in 2015 and incessantly increasing thereafter). Hundreds of executive branch agencies’/departments’/ commissions’ manuals, circulars, guides, notices, bulletins, advisory opinions, circulars, memoranda and decrees interpreting the statutes and regulations. President-issued executive orders and memoranda. The 53-title U.S. Code codifying the federal statutes. http://uscode.house.gov. Decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts, treaties, or laws enacted by state or local governments. Federal laws preempting any U.S. state laws being in conflict with them. U.S. government published manuals reveal specific measures which can prevent corporate misconduct and minimize harsh legal penalties for not following said myriad of mandatory requirements. The Tekapult’s products are not intended to give legal advice but only yield the federal regulations’ main points for quick comprehension of involved complex issues and respective strategic decisions. A regulations’ guidelines analysis behooves corporate steps inquired about by the government’s investigators, such as: 1. Creation of an Independent In-House Legal Council, which would be free of corporate politics and job retention fears and have decisive authority to influence correction of and advise against the corporate wrongful conduct. The Council made up of independent advisors would report to the CEO, oversee legal reporting / disclosures required for publicly traded companies, assess / revise legal risk and initiate investigations of regulation compliance practices, facilitate mass training of staff in key laws’ takeaways, and give authoritative opinions on corporate strategic decisions. The Council’s opinions may alleviate or shield the executives from liability in legally unfavorable consequences of their opinion-based decisions. The Council works with, oversees, and incorporates work-products of in-house and outside counsel. This accountability hierarchy eliminates typical problems of outside counsels’ conflicting and untimely (due to attorney’s own schedule) advice; re-education (begetting duplicative time charges / legal fees) in company’s business; the inherent danger of inadvertent trade secret data loss; production of memoranda not sufficiently clear and condensed for immediate mass educational purposes; and the need for a company’s situation-based search/ engagement of attorneys specializing in labor, intellectual property, securities, antitrust, or ethics matters. ​ ​​ ​ ​ 2. ​​Establishment of a Legal Assessment Risk and Crisis Management Plan to be created per government agencies’ guidelines for common-to-all areas of law (entailing criminal liability of executives and managers plus corporate liability). These areas encompass corporate fraud on public/ government/ investors; insider trading; corporate ethics, bribery of foreign officials; foreign agent registration; anti-monopoly or competitors’ illegal agreements; and anti-money laundering. The Plan involves the staff’s “do” and “do not do” education, discovery of corporate misbehavior (via investigations, “whistleblower” notices, social media, etc.), guidance in settling or defending claims and charges, and post-fact damage / crisis control. Tekapult’s tPrimers digests complemented by tCanons, which further abridge tPrimers, provide insightful and multidisciplinary/multi-industry summaries with legal authority references and examples for standardized mass education throughout the organization and quick reference for company’s strategic and daily decisions. Customizable tPrimers serve as a tool for the legal crises’ cost-effective prevention and staff training in potential legal pitfalls. These “Big Data” digests of federal rules, regulations, and government agencies’ manuals / guidelines are beneficial for the global audience of business managers, key executives, governments, attorneys, and salesforce for avoidance or minimization of severe U.S. government’s criminal and civil penalties imposed on companies and their executives. ​ ​

  • International Securities Clearing Art. | Tekapult

    INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES CLEARING / SETTLEMENT HOUSES Banks, private wealth managers, broker-dealers, securities’ custodians, individuals and financial institutions engage cross-border clearing houses for handling international debt and other types of securities. Major players in that field: The Depository Trust Company (DTC), a New York based and SEC-registered clearing company, participates in the Federal Reserve System, acts as the central securities depository (for stocks, corporate and municipal government bonds, money market instruments), electronic records custodian and transfer facilitator of securities, and settlement service provider for brokers/ dealers, institutional investors, settling banks and other financial institutions. See www.dtc.org . ​ The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is a US holding company of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). It settles domestic and international securities transactions. DTCC maintains the world’s largest central securities depository followed by Euroclear and Clearstream, respectively. DTCC operates data processing facilities and provides automatic, centralized, and standardized processing of financial transactions for thousands of institutions worldwide. DTC transfers money and securities for NSCC's net settlements, and settlement transactions between broker-dealers and safekeeping banks. DTC is a custodian of US and foreign countries’ issued securities valued in trillions of US dollars. DTC determines if a company's stock / issuer may be eligible for DTC deposit or delivery services or FAST (Fast Automated Securities Transfer) electronic movement of stock among transfer agents, clearing firms, issuers, security holders, and brokerage houses. DTCC’s subsidiary DTCC Solutions serves as a centralized data provider for stock splits, tender offers, conversions and other types of corporate actions in Europe, Asia and North America. UK based DTCC subsidiary European Central Counterparty Limited (EuroCCP) provides securities central counterparty / clearing services in Europe (15 countries, seven currencies). EuroCCP clears and settles trades via its agent Citi Global Transaction Services. ​ DTCC’s Profile Modification System (Profile) electronically communicates investors’ instructions as to securities’ movements between street-name and direct registration book-entry positions via DTCC participants. DTCC’s Profile Surety Program (PSP) involves issuance of a surety bond to back a party’s obligations arising from the screen-based indemnity to mitigate any risk for DTCC users. http://www.dtcc.com/~/media/Files/Downloads/legal/service-guides/Settlement.ashx. The DTCC Global Trade Repository (GTR) maintains vast data and generates reports for global OTC derivatives transactions in that $650 trillion industry. DTC corporate actions cover information about forthcoming corporate distributions, redemptions, and reorganizations, participants’ entitlements, execution of given instructions, payment allocation and reporting. Global Tax Services include tax relief accounting for non-U.S. securities, U.S. tax withholding on U.S.-sourced income paid to non-U.S. entities, and tax reporting services. ​ Euroclear, a Belgium based clearance house, provides clearing, settling, safekeeping and asset servicing securities (bonds, stocks, derivatives), acts as the International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) and he Central Securities Depository (CSD) for many countries. Settlement means delivery of securities versus payment, or free of payment as collateral against a loan of securities or per a margin call issued by a broker or exchange, if the posted margin falls below the minimum margin requirement. To settle international securities via Euroclear or Clearstream clearance houses, one need to obtain the Euroclear or Clearstream ISIN codes. Euroclear Bank is holding, issuing, protecting, loaning securities from and letting securities owners join its anonymous lending pool, and facilitating straight-through processing round-the-clock settlement of international debt securities on a DVP (delivery-versus-payment) basis. Euroclear screens reflect Euroclear-registered financial documents but not cash on deposit, which is deemed confidential information. To access cash assets’ data, Euroclear screens require ISIN and CUSIP numbers provided for asset protection (and may be associated with an unrelated company stock) plus a Blocking Code. Only after all numbers and codes are entered, the screen would reveal the Blocked Fund number, code, amount, currency, CHIPS, holder’s identity, and other data confirming cash on deposit in the owner’s bank account. This proof-of-funds method is used in lieu of or in addition to the asset availability confirmation by a bank’s letter bearing two bank officers’ signatures and personal codes. ​ Clearstream Banking S.A. (Luxembourg / Frankfurt based clearing and settlement division of Deutsche Börse) serves as International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) facilitating large value money transfers worldwide, Central Securities Depository (CSD) for Germany, custodian for Eurobonds and other financial instruments, and securities’ clearing/ settlement house in 53 countries’ markets. Clearstream like Euroclear may issue XS ISIN codes for securities. Clearstream provides new issues’ distribution / settlement, income / redemption payments, proxy voting, tax-related and corporate action notification / processing services. Clearstream uses SWIFT messages for communication with clients per its website-published SWIFT User Guide and subscription to Clearstream’s Reports and Notifications. Such messages include MT548 Settlement Status Report, MT537 Statement of Pending Transactions, MT54x Confirmations and/or MT536 Statements of Transactions. ​ Clearstream eligible customers* (*individuals cannot become Clearstream Banking customers) may authorize publishing their account numbers for settlement purposes, but for the safekeeping, corporate actions or other securities connected services, such account publishing to other market participants is not needed. Clearstream monitors and reports to the regulators its customers’ published and non-published accounts activity. It services banks, companies, financial institutions and governments worldwide. ​ This short summary of major clearing and settlement houses does not cover all of their features or functions and does not include many other houses in that field, such as ACH (“Automated Clearing House”), a low-cost payment network handling debit transfers (payroll, dividends) and credit transfers (loan, insurance premiums and bill payments), and allowing financial institutions to obtain/ exchange check images, to conduct online adjustments, settlement, fingerprinting, electronic check presentment and check clearance. www.electronicpayments.org .

  • U.S. SANCTION REGULATION COMPLIANCE | Tekapult

    U.S. SANCTION REGULATION COMPLIANCE BY NON-BLOCKED COMPANIES ​ U.S. economic sanctions are global, evolving and adopted in real time without approval of the U.S. Congress and reliance on court decisions. These sanctions are based on federal regulations, directives, statutes, and U.S. president’s executive orders. ​ They are imposed not on a country but on targeted economic sectors, private and state-owned or controlled entities, and individuals. Each tranche of sanctions increases a number of companies which may become subject to the sanctions because they conduct business transactions with blocked entities and persons. But the constantly updated OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN” List) does not identify all of the blocked entities. According to the OFAC's 50% ownership regulation, U.S. persons are prohibited to engage in any transactions with SDNs and entities that are owned 50 percent or more, directly or indirectly, by one or more SDNs, even if OFAC does not specifically list those entities as SDNs. ​ Such lack of blocked SDN person/entity disclosure necessitates practically each U.S. person to find out the identities of owners and their percentage of ownership (whether owned directly or indirectly through other parties) in the companies they are dealing with. ​ The Tekapult’s summarized “Do” and “Do Not” key points of U.S. regulations on economic sanctions for their fast comprehension in the abbreviated FAQ format as illustrated herein. ​ Sanctions’ Enforcement : The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) enforces economic sanctions programs by blocking of assets and trade restrictions. ​ Prohibited transactions are trade, business or financial transactions in which U.S. persons may not engage unless authorized by OFAC or expressly exempted by statute. ​ Exceptions to the prohibitions - Licenses: OFAC’S general licenses authorizing category-based transactions and specific licenses on a case-by-case basis. 31 C.F.R. 501.801. License Application Page . U.S. persons may not provide such services to persons listed on OFAC’s SDNs and Blocked Persons List (SDN) without an OFAC specific or general license/ authorization to engage in a transaction that otherwise would be prohibited. ​ Regulations Apply to All U.S. persons (individuals and organizations), who are responsible for ensuring that they do not undertake a business dealing with an individual or entity on the SDN list, such as: • All U.S. citizens and permanent residents (green card holders), • All persons located in the United States, • Overseas branches of U.S. companies, and • Non-U.S. subsidiaries of U.S. companies for Cuba and North Korea programs, Penalties for Noncompliance with OFAC Administered Statutes: Criminal violations range from $50,000 to $10,000,000 and/or up to 30 years imprisonment for willful violations. Civil penalties: up to $1,075,000 per violation. Russia-Related Blocking Sanctions issued in connection to Russia's invasion of Ukraine taken pursuant to E.O. 14024. ​ The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) Administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United​ States. Publishes lists of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. ​ Publishes lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country specific. ​ ​ Blocked Persons List. Such individuals’ and companies’ ("Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs.") assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. A growing “SDN list" includes approximately of about 7,000+ names of companies and individuals who are connected with the sanctions’ targets. Different prohibitions are associated with other lists. Covered persons: U.S. persons and foreign persons other than any person Whose property and interests in property are blocked per OFAC Sanctions Regulations, including persons listed on OFAC's List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or To whom a U.S. person is prohibited from exporting services or From whom a U.S. person is prohibited from importing services per OFAC Sanctions Regulations. 31 C.F.R. Chapter V. Blocking / "freezing" the targeted property means that: The property title remains with the target. The exercise of ownership-related powers and privileges is prohibited without OFAC authorization. It immediately imposes an across-the-board prohibition against transfers or dealings of any kind with regard to the property. ​ ​ Blocked Entities: Entities that a person on the SDN List owns (a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more) are also blocked, regardless of whether that entity is separately named on the SDN List. Prohibition. U.S. persons are prohibited from dealing with SDNs wherever they are located and all SDN assets are blocked. ​ U.S. persons may provide and continue to provide the services as to U.S. sanctions laws to covered persons regardless of whether: The U.S. person is self-employed, Employed by a U.S. entity, or Employed by a non-U.S. entity, and The U.S. person is either "inhouse" personnel or is an external attorney, consultant, or other person providing such services. Allowed Services to be Provided to Covered Persons include: Lecture on the topic of U.S. sanctions laws in a non-sanctioned third country, and A U.S. person compliance officer working at a covered person entity may advise its employees and business partners on U.S. sanctions laws. Provide a legal opinion, certification, guidance, or other clearance as to the specific transactions’ legality under U.S. sanctions laws, executive orders and regulations regardless of whether it would be prohibited for a U.S. person to engage in those transactions. Research of online commercial databases and published reference materials to opine on the transactions’ legality under U.S. sanctions laws. provided there is no importation or exportation of services where such transactions are not OFAC-authorized or prohibited by OFAC Sanctions Regulations. 498. The Compliance Services Guidance. Illegal Research . A U.S. person may not conduct research that otherwise involves the importation or exportation of services where such transactions are prohibited unless such transactions are authorized by OFAC. 499. Research exceeds the scope of the Compliance Services Guidance. Prohibited services by U.S. persons, wherever located, include: Approve, finance, facilitate, or guarantee any transaction by a foreign covered person where such transaction would be prohibited by OFAC Sanctions Regulations if performed by a U.S. person or within the United States. U.S. persons could not vote on a transaction (e.g., as a board member), or execute transaction documents (other than as to the transaction legality), where the transaction would be prohibited if performed by a U.S. person or within the United States. Solicit information regarding a transaction from covered persons, such as: the currency involved; any involvement of U.S. persons, directly or indirectly; and the identity of the covered person’s counterparty. 498. The Compliance Services Guidance. Conduct research involving the importation or exportation of services where such transactions are prohibited unless such transactions are authorized by OFAC. 499. Research exceeds the scope of the Compliance Services Guidance. Engage in an exportation of services where such services are prohibited by OFAC Sanctions Regulations (31 C.F.R. chapter V). ​ ​ Activities Subject to Secondary Sanctions Risk . Non-U.S. persons may be exposed to secondary sanctions risk and could be designated for property-blocking sanctions for assisting, sponsoring, or providing financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of persons blocked pursuant to the Executive Order (E.O.) 14024. ​ Since transactions with SDNs are not permitted, each company must conduct due diligence investigation of all persons which provide services and conduct transactions with them to ascertain whether they are blocked, or 50%+ owned by the blocked entities. Tekapult’s regulations’ compliance digests are periodically amended since the U.S. sanctions regulations are subject to change and updates without any pre-publication notice. /Boris Parad/ U.S. REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE: PAYMENTS / TRANSACTIONS WITH SANCTIONED ENTITIES https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/faqs/topic/1501

  • America- Foreign Cap. Article | Tekapult

    AMERICA: FOREIGN CAPITAL COMMERCIALIZATION HAVEN + WEALTH AMPLIFIER Historically, politicians, athletes, movie stars, emperors, political parties, government employees, and wealthy families, deposited their funds in offshore banks in a hope that bank secrecy laws would protect their anonymity and wealth. It is estimated about $21 trillion is languishing in offshore bank accounts. The world’s political, economic and financial climates changed dramatically within the last decade. New and creative approaches to individuals’ and corporations’ wealth protection and expansion have recently emerged. ​ The stashed funds produce nothing and may be even forever lost because (1) the ruling regime party’s assets could not be retrieved from bank accounts’ holders after the party’s political demise in view of lack of legal assignment of ownership rights to these assets; or (2) the account holders may die, become mentally disabled, be intimidated or an intermediary corporation may be dissolved, so that the asset owner’s family could be barred from accessing the account assets; or (3) private savings may be shaved by forced levies on bank deposits caused by offshore country/bank instability similar to Cyprus troubled banks’ bailout situations. To prevent assets’ losses, let the owners and their heirs use the assets in perpetuity as they deem fit, and alleviate concerns of confiscatory taxes/ levies, one may commercialize such assets in America and take advantage of her tax benefits, advanced banking and business infrastructure, independent judicial system, political stability, asset security and favorable investment environment. ​ America is the world’s biggest tax haven for foreigners as her tax reductions and exemptions are designed to attract foreign investors. Foreigners’ bank deposits are protected by the FDIC insurance up to a set limit. Many non-resident aliens (foreigners who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States, called herein “NRA”), international companies, Caribbean banks and trusts invested trillions of dollars in US financial institutions. Besides tax treaties benefiting U.S. companies doing business abroad, there are generally no U.S. taxes for NRAs on (1) capital gain, except NRA’s real property qualifying as a capital asset held for at least one year; (2) U.S. financial institution (banks, credit unions, brokerage houses, savings/loan associations) deposit interest and portfolio interest; and (3) foreign corporations / source dividends. NRA’s active business and personal income earned in the U.S.A. and a foreign company’s income from U.S. conducted trade / business, or gains from U.S. real property interest disposition, during the tax year, are subject to U.S. federal taxes. U.S. corporations’ dividends are subject to withholding tax (30% of distribution’s gross amount), unless income tax Treaty (e.g. for investors residing in UK, Spain, Germany, China, etc.) either reduces or eliminates this tax. ​ All 50 states welcome foreign investments and may negotiate state taxes for businesses providing substantial infusions into the state’s economy. Florida, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, Nevada, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, and Utah states have low tax rates or no sales, estate, property, capital gains, personal or business income taxes at all. Some states have no limits on credit card or other corporate interest rates charged by lenders. Although federal corporate income tax rate is 35%, the largest corporations actually pay to the government an effective rate of 12.1 percent (a 2012 report of the Congressional Budget Office), or even less in many instances. ​ U.S. multinational companies hamper their business by keeping their foreign sale profits overseas, because the stranded cash could be repatriated to develop their business in the U.S.A., buy back stocks or distribute dividends to their U.S. investors, while federal corporate taxes triggered by repatriation could be minimized by (1) paying taxes only on the difference between the U.S. and offshore country’s tax rates; (2) allocating profits and royalties to subsidiaries in U.S. no-tax or low-tax states; (3) tax credits and net operating losses; (4) buying another U.S. company, which obtains a large loan from the parent-purchaser; and other tax strategies. “Re-shoring” is a new trend for U.S. companies in view of offshore countries’ rising costs of land and labor, local “red tape”, transportation and political infrastructure causing delivery/ production delays, or quality control issues. ​ America’s laws may protect foreign asset owners’ public anonymity. For example, the States of Delaware or Wyoming do not require public disclosure of (1) financial information of LLC members and their assets; and (2) identity of the beneficial owner of the LLC membership interests or corporation shares, or trusts’/ companies’ accounts. ​ U.S. residency is not required for foreign capital investment. But those willing to purchase a U.S. existing, or start a new, commercial non-passive business for at least $1 million ($500,000 for businesses in high-unemployment or rural areas), create/ preserve 10 or more full-time jobs for U.S. workers within two years, and actively manage business operation, may become U.S. citizens after receipt of "Conditional" Green Card (a permanent residency permit) and five-year term of continuous physical presence in the United States. EB-5 Immigrant Investor program allows foreign investors and their families to access medical care, good schools, as well as work and enjoy social / cultural life in the U.S., and have multi-entry visas. In general, the U.S. government does not formally approve foreign direct investments. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) reviews voluntary notices of certain acquisitions to determine their effect on U.S. national security. Decisions to seek CFIUS confidential review/ approval of security sensitive transactions that could result in foreign entity’s control (10%+ of all company shares) of a U.S. business depend on such entities. CFIUS approves most of the noticed transactions. It has requested risk mitigation assurances/ compliance for the submitted-for-review transactions’ allowance or disallowed acquisitions in very few cases.* A solid path for materializing funds idling in the offshore bank accounts is to create American desalination plants, hospitals, power stations, toll highways, transportation, waste-to-energy, and other profit or non-profit companies. A fast-track monetization avenue is to take part in the U.S. nanotechnology (assembling molecules into predetermined apparatuses/ structures) boom, which affects many industries and products with nano-enabled materials like radio or electricity.** U.S. government issued the National Nanotechnology Initiative (“NNI”) to advance through the NNI’s federal agencies “a world-class nanotechnology research and development program leading to new materials, devices, and products”. The NNI encourages attraction of domestic and foreign capital for participation in the nanotech industrial revolution via (1) R&D of new materials and their novel applications in nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanomedicine, environment cleanup, solar-to-electrical energy conversion/storage, etc.; (2) efficient/ fast transfer of developed intellectual property from research labs to industry; and (3) education and training of skilled work force, and constructing new and modernizing existing factories and research facilities. ​ Governments use their sovereign wealth funds (proceeds from state property privatizations, official foreign currency transactions, natural resources’ sales, etc.) to hedge national assets against economic risks, generate profits, stabilize fluctuating government revenues, accumulate reserves for future operations, and for political gains. France, China, S. Korea, Singapore, Russia, Brazil and many other countries established their investment corporations / funds, which invest globally and particularly in U.S. enterprises facilitating great returns on investments. ​ U.S. business advantages: consumer market of 310 million Americans plus exports to global markets, superb intellectual property protection and enforcement, pro-investment and pro-innovation climate, world-class universities, countrywide intermodal transportation grids, extensive skilled labor force, well-maintained highways, railroads, ports and airports, wide-spread advanced/ applied IT technologies, unrestricted flow of capital, products and services. This results in competitive overall production and distribution costs and excellent risk-adjusted returns on investment in U.S. businesses by foreign investors. ​ Political and international banking realities dictate new investment strategies. There is a unique opportunity now to become a part of the U.S. economic and technological revitalization by utilizing the stagnated dollars or euros (legally earned, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) for American scientific and industrial projects, while benefiting from the invested assets’ tax savings and safety, preserving funds’ ownership and its unrestricted transferability, making money off the new or modernized U.S. company’s business, and gaining the goodwill of the U.S. government. *For more details, see http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/CFIUS/Pages/default.aspx or http://www.paradfirm.com/#!FOREIGN-INVESTMENT-IN-THE-US-PRE-ACQUISITION-STRATEGIES-by-Boris-Parad-Esq/c126r/CB1B058B-D761-4BD1-B7E5-FB652D2EA36E ​ **Anti-bacterial wound dressings, dry powder neutralizing gas/ liquid toxins, high efficiency batteries, more potent drugs, military fatigues resisting chemical weapons, medical device coatings, transistors, golf balls adjusting their own trajectory, scratch/ glare resistant coatings for eye glasses/ mirrors/ cameras, water-repellent/ self-cleaning/ anti-fog/ anti-microbial/ electrically conductive films, heat insulators, water filtration, etc. Nano-manufacturing “bottom-up” process (molecular construction of a material/ product) eliminates the waste and disposed leftovers associated with current “top-down” manufacturing methods of using large / bulk materials to initiate products’ creation.

Los propietarios de la propiedad intelectual deben realizar auditorías internas periódicas (diligencia debida continua) para identificar, explotar y proteger la propiedad intelectual a fin de cumplir con las obligaciones de los altos ejecutivos con los accionistas en virtud de la ley. SOX §302 requiere la certificación de CEO / CFO de informes anuales (10-K) y trimestrales (10-Q). SOX §404 exige la certificación de los procedimientos de control por parte de los funcionarios de una empresa para garantizar que las empresas hayan tomado medidas para identificar y valorar todos sus activos, incluidos los activos de propiedad intelectual. Requisitos de divulgación de la SEC. La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores (“SEC”), División de Finanzas Corporativas, monitorea las explicaciones de propiedad intelectual en los registros corporativos. Las regulaciones de la SEC y SOX requieren la divulgación de información no financiera "material" para las finanzas de la compañía y la certificación de estados financieros y procedimientos de seguimiento de activos (auditorías) para activos intangibles y otros. Dichas auditorías deben realizarse para cumplir con los requisitos de la ley federal. La monetización de IP requiere valoración de IP. Los tasadores ayudan a los propietarios de activos intangibles y no rentables (capital) (empresas y personas sofisticadas ubicadas en todo el mundo) a determinar el valor de sus activos existentes para monetizarlos. Prácticamente todas las empresas tienen tales activos no utilizados, que podrían convertirse en ingresos o capital tangible.

    FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE U.S. - PRE-ACQUISITION STRATEGIES Despite political and financial crises and turmoil stirring the countries around the world, America remains to be an oasis of government stability, great opportunity of economic growth, unrestricted flow of capital, pro-research and pro-innovation climate, established legal system, natural / shale gas abundance,[1] and low raw material costs. To join America’s boom in nanotech, biotech, hi-tech and other industries, foreign investors open new U.S. companies; move their plants; buy innovative product start-ups; merge with the established company like Italian "Fiat" and American "Chrysler"; partner for product development joint venture or product manufacturing and sales, like German chemicals’ maker BASF joint venture with Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Port Arthur, Texas; or acquire and modernize medium size and large corporations.[2] The pre-acquisition period includes target search, acquisition negotiations, federal government clearances if U.S. national security interests are involved, technology and intellectual property transfer, local government business-specific regulations’ compliance, state/ city tax reduction and/or moratorium, parent-subsidiary corporate structuring, etc. Foreign investments’ inflows increase the U.S. capital needed for new projects implementation and job growth. Such inflows are unrestricted but to make sure that foreign persons do not overtake control (power to direct the business, hire/ fire officers, or buy/sell assets) of the critical-to-security trade or business, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (“CFIUS”) reviews “covered transactions” implications. CFIUS (representatives of Treasury, Justice, Defense, Homeland Security departments and other security-focused agencies) has cleared countless transactions and precluded only a few of them.[3] CFIUS member agencies monitor business purchases and may request the filing for the CFIUS review of the pending or completed deal. Covered transaction’s security risk factors: national security threats to U.S. critical technologies, sources of energy, natural resources and infrastructure (a physical or virtual system / asset the incapacity or destruction of which would be detrimental to national security). In general, broadly interpreted “national security” concept includes acquisitions in any US business sector and depends on the nature of the US target business (goods or services directly or indirectly contribute to US national security) and the foreign acquirer’s identity (especially if it is controlled by a foreign government). For example, China’s Hong Kong based Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. purchase of Smithfield Foods, Inc., a giant U.S. pork products’ producer, was a “covered transaction” approved by CFIUS, because the acquisition could affect national health and food supply, i.e. indirectly contributing to US national security. CFIUS review process stages: (1) pre-filing phase (submission of a draft notice and communications with the staff to clarify notice completion / statutory compliance); (2) 30-day review period starting on the next business day after the Staff Chairperson accepts the parties’ joint notice and determines that it complies with regulations’ requirements and usually ending with the transaction clearance; (3) CFIUS-initiated (in some circumstances) subsequent investigation must be completed within additional 45 days; and (4) President must issue a decision within 15 days after CFIUS investigation’s completion and transaction referral for President’s review. CFIUS notice must provide a detailed explanation/ description of each involved entity, products and services, transaction’s nature, purpose and structure, charts showing control and ownership chains for the foreign acquirer and U.S. business target before and after acquisition, the actual/ foreign party in interest or transaction party’s parent, all classified information contracts/ purchase orders containing a Security Requirements Clause or a Contract Security Classification Specification (not the document, but goods or services to be performed per the contract are classified) and notice certification. CIFUS regulations require the manufacturer/ exporter’s compliance with The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) controlling / preventing export and disclosure of sensitive technology to foreign entities. ITAR and EAR reviews / certifications affecting pending transactions should be completed by manufacturer/ exporter before a voluntary notice submission to CFIUS. CFIUS may approve (with or without certain conditions, such as apprising CFIUS of the transaction status) or reject the parties’ notice withdrawal request. CFIUS may reject a notice if it is incomplete, or notice-provided material information is changed or contradicts with uncovered facts, or because of the parties’ failure to respond within 3 business days to the CFIUS follow-up information request. If CFIUS clears the covered transaction, or imposes risk-mitigating conditions agreed to by the parties, or the President’s decision does not prohibit it, then the parties receive a “safe harbor” for the transaction. In order to obtain a safe harbor provision’s protection from future CFIUS actions, foreign buyers should take into consideration (prior to their voluntary filing with the CFIUS) the precedent established facts and concerns: ​ CFIUS reviews and discussions with the CFIUS are confidential; Buyer’s ties to foreign intelligence/ government will be closely analyzed; Political backdrop / relationship with the buyer’s country (like China or Russia) may trigger higher scrutiny of the transaction; Pro-active national security risk-mitigation measures include the buyer’s agreement to allow the U.S. stored data be searched by government intelligence services; cede control of business operations and U.S. based technology / assets but keep the revenue stream flowing from the assets; not to make any major changes to the company’s management / workforce; prove that no product market monopoly would result from the merger; divest its defense / military contracts or that key positions be held by Americans; The U.S. business’ territory being near the military/ defense installations or restricted airspace / waterways or bases is always a national security concern; The involved technology’s “dual use”/ application for military and commercial purposes is a red flag for CFIUS; CFIUS jurisdiction limits may be expanded to encompass “covered transactions” in any segment of the US economy; Transaction size / purchase price makes no difference for the CFIUS review; CFIUS may invite sua sponte the buyer to file a notice of the transaction after its closing; Purchase of unique technologies and corresponding patents, and hiring a few employees from the target company may trigger the CFIUS request to file a transaction notice; CFIUS may recommend to President to order the buyer to divest its control, or acquired assets and hired employees, or unwind the deal; Buyer accepts the risk of a presidential veto if it goes forward with the purchase without obtaining a pre-acquisition clearance by the federal authorities; CFIUS and the President have the right not to disclose evidence / reasons for quashing the deal; and President’s transaction prohibition decision is practically immune to possible legal challenges by the parties. ​ A properly structured deal satisfying CFIUS national security concerns would facilitate the CFIUS approval. For instance, CFIUS had approved sale (in spite of political opposition) of lithium ion battery manufacturer A123 Systems, Inc. to Wanxiang Group’s (a Chinese auto parts manufacturer) American subsidiary as A123 divested its military contracts and Wanxiang ceded its control/ access to A123’s technology or assets. ​ Foreign investors would be wise to seek the CFIUS transaction clearance in acquiring US business yielding apparent security concerns (like defense or hi-tech technologies) but also in not so clearly obvious ones (territorial proximity to military bases, dual use technology, national food chain supply, etc.) in view of CFIUS increased post-acquisition reviews and potential CFIUS’ “abortions” of closed deals. Buyers of U.S. businesses having any possible effect on national security should put a CFIUS-clearance contingency provision into their U.S. business purchase agreement giving opportunity to call off the deal in case it is nixed by CFIUS and avoid losing their “face”, time and substantial investment capital. Foreign capital commercialization and participation in the U.S. economy necessitates certain practical steps: 1. If applicable, pre-clearance voluntary filing of (1) offshore accounts’ voluntary disclosures and negotiations with the IRS as to tax liability ramifications to eliminate the risk of civil penalties and criminal prosecution; or (2) notice with the CFIUS for transactions, which could affect U.S. national security; 2. Formation of holding and operating companies, trusts and other legal entities; 3. Business-specific clearances and permits from federal and state government agencies, and financial institutions for large funds’ transfers, as needed; 4. Due diligence investigation of acquisition target-company and development of innovation-based manufacturing or service companies. A post-acquisition period involves making money off own capital (money is goods like any other goods), conflict resolutions, compliance with American tax, labor, export, customs, securities, cargo shipping, and a myriad of other laws, rules and regulations, and other issues affecting the enterprise profitability. Foreign investors need strategic guidance and trustworthy counsel in pre- and post-acquisition periods for carrying out their business and financial objectives of investments in the United States. ​ © Parad Law Offices, P.C., 2014 [1] Resulting in low electricity prices, which, for instance, are about one-third or even half of skyrocketing prices paid by the German industry in view of Germany’s nuclear energy/ power station planned phase-out.

    INVENCIONES NUEVAS E ÚNICAS: RESULTADOS COLOSALES + COSTOS MÍNIMOS Patente de EE. UU. N. ° 7,105,939 B2 Fecha de la patente: 12 de septiembre de 2006 UN GENERADOR DE ENERGÍA CINÉTICO / ELÉCTRICO Esencia de la invención Un generador de energía en miniatura / móvil captura / utiliza la energía de las bolas rodantes en la cámara para una oscilación acelerada similar a un péndulo del peso de la carcasa de la cámara, de modo que provoque las frecuentes rotaciones del eje de soporte para la generación de electricidad (a través de un minitransductor electromecánico). ) o energía cinética / rotacional. Ventajas Este generador en miniatura es autoalimentado, ya que sus diminutas bolas de metal se mueven entre sí en la cámara de pesas debido a los movimientos multidireccionales del generador-portador, como las acciones de vuelo de guiñada / cabeceo / balanceo de un dron, la oscilación de la muñeca o la cabeza. / rotación / flexión / temblor durante las actividades funcionales diarias de una persona, o los movimientos de la parte superior del torso que afectan al dispositivo médico instalado en el cuerpo. Su diseño simple / liviano facilita la fabricación económica, ya que las bolas de metal estándar utilizadas en los rodamientos de bolas, o las bolas de cerámica o piedra se pueden usar con un costo mínimo de mano de obra y material. El peso dinámico del aire y las bolas se pulen para reducir el drenaje de potencia del arrastre de aire y aumentar la velocidad y frecuencia de los movimientos de rotación del peso y la consiguiente eficiencia del dispositivo. Además, la viscosidad del aire se minimiza por la presión atmosférica constante, la temperatura y la humedad de la cámara que afectan los movimientos de rodadura de las bolas en la cámara. . A diferencia de los relojes de péndulo, que deben estar inmóviles para funcionar, los movimientos multidireccionales del Generator y las aceleraciones de peso son necesarios para su funcionamiento. Necesita un umbral de fuerza muy bajo para el inicio del movimiento del peso. Puede recolectar la energía cinética / inercial incesantemente desperdiciada producida por la vibración de las máquinas en funcionamiento, el bamboleo / fluctuación de los puentes, las fuerzas dinámicas de los pies de las personas proyectadas en las suelas de los zapatos y en los pisos o pasillos de apoyo de alto tráfico. Puede capturar unos pocos vatios de potencia de las actividades del cuerpo humano, como comer, beber, caminar, correr, balancear los brazos mientras hace ejercicio / camina o escribe en teclados para producir electricidad a través de una batería alimentada por un generador que se puede llevar puesta en una parte del cuerpo o integrada en el atuendo. Aplicaciones de la invención Baterías perpetuas / recargables para teléfonos inteligentes / computadoras portátiles / tabletas, drones, gafas con capacidad de video, monitores / sensores de salud, cámaras CCTV, chips de seguimiento, audífonos y otros dispositivos portátiles, implantados o portátiles. Mecanismos de cuerda por resorte en relojes mecánicos / electromecánicos (cuarzo) u otros aparatos mecánicos. Sensores relacionados con la construcción para el monitoreo constante de las condiciones de las estructuras de la zona sísmica o de difícil acceso, es decir, rascacielos, tuberías, puentes, etc. Dispositivos médicos / implantables como marcapasos (las vibraciones de la bomba cardíaca del orden de decenas de milivatios pueden encender el generador), microbombas que administran medicamentos, estimuladores neurológicos, frecuencia cardíaca / azúcar en sangre / presión arterial y otros dispositivos de monitoreo de condiciones de salud para evitar un dispositivo cirugías de instalación y extracción, mida el temblor / convulsión del paciente y envíe los datos al proveedor médico a través del teléfono inteligente del paciente. Dispositivos de vigilancia, seguridad y protección siempre armados para descubrir y rastrear objetos en movimiento o activar un sistema de alarma en caso de intrusión para museos, exposiciones, hogar / oficina / industria bancaria, depositarios o seguridad perimetral. Sensores militares desplegados desde el aire para detectar vibraciones de tanques, ruido de pistolas de francotiradores, incluso pasos humanos, procesar y comunicar los datos recopilados a los nodos de fusión (micro-servidores) de una red multisalto autoorganizada. Los microgeneradores cinéticos autosostenibles, de uso perpetuo, fáciles de fabricar y económicos eliminan la necesidad y el costo de adquisición, mantenimiento y reemplazo de baterías convencionales para muchas aplicaciones e industrias. * El ser humano promedio, en reposo, produce alrededor de 100 vatios de potencia, 300-400 vatios a través de la actividad física regular y hasta 2000 vatios para acciones de explosión de energía como saltar o levantar pesas.
