In this briefing, the final in a series of ten, we address two particular issues touched upon in earlier briefings that are worthy of additional comment, the first being the financial services regulatory environment in which private equity houses operate and the second being PIPE transactions. We also round up and summarise the various key topics covered in the series and take a brief look at the types of transaction in which private equity houses have been involved in 2003/2004. Financial services regulatory environment
The acts of: (1) raising a private equity fund, traditionally the collecting together of financial contributions from a group of limited partners; (2) investing the fund on their behalf across a portfolio of companies; and (3) managing and eventually disposing of portfolio investments and distributing the proceeds amongst the underlying investors, are all regulated activities under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). As such, the entity carrying out these activities is required to be a regulated person under FSMA.

The General Settlement Fund
On January 31, 2001 the Austrian parliament's lower house, and on February 15, 2001 the upper house, unanimously adopted the Federal Law on the Establishment of a General Settlement Fund for Victims of National Socialism and on Restitution Measures (General Settlement Fund Law), as well as an Amendment to the General Social Security Law and the Victims Assistance Act (Federal Law Gazette I No. 12/2001). This was initiated by all four parties represented in the Austrian Parliament and created the legal basis for the establishment of a General Settlement Fund for Victims of National Socialism.
The Fund will be endowed with an amount of US$ 210 million , provided by the Republic of Austria and Austrian companies. This amount shall be made available, at the latest, 30 days after all claims in the United States pending as of June 30, 2001 against Austria or Austrian companies arising out of or related to the National Socialist era or World War II have been dismissed.
Of the funds available for payments to entitled persons one half shall be reserved for payments in the claims-based process, and one half for payments in the equity-based process. Of the funds available for payments the equivalent in Schillings of US$ 25 million shall be allocated for payments for insurance policies. Only one application may be filed in the respective processes, which may include losses and damages in multiple categories. Simultaneous applications in both processes based on the same loss or damage are, however, inadmissible.

Understanding the Roots of Equity
One of the most significant developments in American legal history was the merging of law and equity. At one time there were law courts and equity courts in America (derived from the common law examples in England) but with the adoption of portions of the Field Code (of Civil Procedure) in New York State in 1848, the merger of law and equity began. It continued apace through states that adopted the "Code Pleading" mechanism of the Field Code, though many states kept a formal distinction between law and equity until the promulgation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 1938. On occasion one will still run into an equity court, but the most frequent use of the term now is as an adjective and in the general sense of "fair" or "reasonable." Such a usage obscures a vibrant, long and controversial history of the term. Getting the Terms Straight The two English terms epiky and equity capture the same reality, though the former term is less frequently attested and has mostly passed out of use.

SECTOR ANALYSIS - Case for Countries North America Western Europe Africa Australasia ... Asia - Case for Sectors Industry Sectors Private Equity Sectors Click here for printer friendly page Private equity structures in Switzerland Introduction Venture capital and private equity is generally felt to be a good thing in Europe. It has a positive effect on economic generation, employment and cross border activity. The private equity industry remains largely dominated by the US (almost 70 per cent of money invested). But, over the last five years, Europe has seen a tremendous increase in private equity firms and investments made in private and start-up companies. Switzerland has been among the top continental European countries with growth rates of more than 100 per cent in 1999 and 2000. The number of start-ups is booming and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology of Lausanne and Zurich have generated more than 70 start-ups over the last few years. In addition, there have been many success stories, including IPOs. Several major consulting firms, as well as Swiss banks, business schools and even large companies have set up programmes and incubators to help and participate in promising young companies. An entrepreneurial mindset is spreading among young people, tentatively supported by specific local authority initiatives, such as tax holidays for start-ups. These recent developments are positioning Switzerland as a land for great opportunities despite the recent major falls on international stock exchanges.

DECLARATION OF COLLECTING SOCIETIES
Guidelines
Outline
This document deals with requirements for declaration of collecting societies under -
  • Part VA (educational copying of broadcasts);
  • Part VB (copying of works for education and people with disabilities); and
  • Part VC (retransmission of free-to-air broadcasts)
It also covers matters that might give rise to the withdrawal of the declaration of a society. A need for regulation arises from the monopoly position conferred on declared societies to operate the above schemes. Fundamental objectives of regulation are to ensure
  • that each society diligently collects all money to which it is entitled, and none to which it is not;
  • that the society manages its operations efficiently and does not incur improper expenses;.
  • that the society maintains an even hand as between current and future beneficiaries.

Tax Law:
Equity Trap
Many dot-coms fail to consider the possible implications
of the stock options that they so blithely issue.
January 5, 2001
Los Angeles Daily Journal
by Jay Fenster Although some dot-coms are handing out stock options like candy, many of these same companies do not fully focus on the tax implications of such grants. While many factors should be considered when developing equity grant programs, unquestionably one of the more important, but least understood, aspects of option grants is federal income-tax consequences. A stock option essentially is a contract between an employer and an employee in which the employer agrees to sell its stock to is employee at a stated price. In general, there are two kinds of employee stock options: incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. The two different types of options produce different tax results for employers and employees. Incentive stock options are generally taxed under Internal Revenue Code Sections 421 and 422. Non-qualified options are taxed under Section 83 and, in particular, Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-7. Generally, an employee who receives a non-qualified stock option will not recognize any income, nor will the granting company be entitled to any deduction, in the year of the grant. Furthermore, in the case of an option subject to delayed vesting, no taxable event will occur in the year the option vests.

Trusts and Bequests
A trust has been defined, in its technical sense, as the right enforceable solely in equity to the beneficial enjoyment of property of which the legal title is in another (Bispham, "Equity", p. 68), and as a right of property, real or personal, held by one party for the benefit of another. (Bouvier, "Law Dict.", s. v. Trusts cestui que trust . The term "trust" is applied sometimes to the equitable title, the obligation of the trustee, or the right which is held in trust. For the creation of a valid trust there are three essentials: a definite subject matter within the disposal of the settlor; a lawful definite object to which the subject matter is to be devoted; clear and unequivocal words or acts devoting the subject matter to the object of the trust (28 Am. and Eng. Ency. of Law, 866, title "Trusts and Trustees"). No specific words are required in the creation of a trust, but they must be sufficient to express the present intent to place a beneficial interest in a specific property in the hands of a trustee beyond the control of the person or persons who are to enjoy the benefit thereof. Any property, real, personal, or equitable, may be the subject of a trust, except in a few cases where statutes have provided to the contrary. The English Statute of Frauds, which has been enacted in most of the United States in some of its provisions, provides that all trusts of land should be proved and manifested by writing. But trusts of personal property are not within the statute; therefore a valid trust of such property may be created verbally, but transfers of existing trusts must be in writing. Under the Roman Law trusts were created for the purpose of empowering certain individuals to inherit property. These trusts were known as

Home Agent Affairs Program Policies and Guidelines Federal Legal Work Opportunities ... Reference Documents CIVIL MATTERS Workplace Equity Policy for Legal Agents Background Employment equity, as a broad principle, ensures the fair representation and full participation in the workplace of women, aboriginal peoples, members of visible minority groups, and persons with disabilities. Employment equity is achieved by employment practices that prevent and correct disadvantages in employment for these designated groups through special measures, reasonable accommodation of differences, and programs to remove barriers to equitable employment opportunities. Employment equity in the federal context is governed by the Employment Equity Act. The purpose of the Act is "to achieve equality in the workplace so that no person is denied employment opportunities or benefits for reasons unrelated to ability and, in the fulfilment of that goal, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment experienced by women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and persons who are, because of their race or colour, in a visible minority in Canada by giving effect to the principle that employment equity means more than treating persons in the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences". Policy Statement It is the policy of the Department of Justice to provide equal access to employment and career opportunities to members of the designated groups - i.e., women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minority groups - and to ensure their equitable representation and full participation in all occupational groups and levels within the Department.

equity (Latin, aequitas) , a term which in its most general sense means equality or The part played by equity in the development of law is admirably
http://faculty.cua.edu/pennington/Law111/EquityBritannica.htm
English equity has one marked historical peculiarity, viz. that it established itself in a set of independent tribunals which remained in standing contrast to the ordinary courts for many hundred years. In Roman law the judge gave the preference to the equitable rule; in English law the equitable rule was enforced by a distinct set of judges. One cause of this separation was the rigid adherence to precedent on the part of the common law courts. Another was the jealousy prevailing in England against the principles of the Roman law on which English equity to a large extent was founded. “ I wonder to hear of citing of precedents in matter of equity, for if there be equity in a case, that equity is an universal truth, and there can be no precedent in it; so that in any precedent that can be produced, if it be the same with this case, the reason and equity is the same in itself; and if the precedent be not the same case with this it is not to be cited.” But the lord keeper Bridgeman answered: “Certainly precedents are very necessary and useful to us, for in them we may find the reasons of the equity to guide us, and besides the authority of those who made them is much to be regarded. We’ shall suppose they did it upon great consideration and weighing of the matter, and it would be very strange and very ill if we should disturb and set aside what has been the course for a long series of times and ages.”

Raising Money Through Equity Investments
Bringing investors into your business gets you more than just money you get new co-owners, too.
Equity investors buy a piece of your business. They become co-owners and share in the fortunes and misfortunes of your business. Like you, they can make or lose a bundle. Generally, if your business does badly or flops, you're under no obligation to pay them back their money. However, some equity investors would like to have their cake and eat it too; they want you to guarantee some return on their investment even if the business does poorly. Unless you're really desperate for the cash, avoid an investor who wants a guarantee. It's simply too risky a proposition for someone starting or running a small business.
Limiting Risk
Because equity investors are co-owners of the business, they may be exposed to personal liability for all business debts unless your business is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company. If you recruit equity investors for what has been your sole proprietorship, your business will now be treated as a general partnership. This means your equity investors will be considered to be general partners, whether or not they take part in running the business. And as far as people outside of the business are concerned people who are owed money or who have a judgment against the business general partners are all personally liable for the debts of the partnership. Equity investors often want to limit their losses to what they put into the business. An investor who puts $10,000 into a business may be prepared to lose the $10,000but no more. In short, the investor doesn't want to put the rest of his or her assets at risk. The investor will want to avoid being or being treated as a general partner.
