406. Does the prohibition on dealing in new equity of entities subject to Directive 1 apply to transactions in which those entities are not the issuer of the equity?

U.S. persons are not prohibited from dealing in new equity with an entity subject to Directive 1 if the entity is not the issuer of the equity. For instance, U.S. persons are not prohibited from transacting with an entity subject to Directive 1 in support of new equity where the entity subject to Directive 1 is the underwriter of the equity and not the issuer.
