Investment company and similar issuers must, starting January 1, 2011, register or notice file their securities in Montana at the class rather than at the previously-required portfolio level. Beginning January 1, 2011, new and renewing issuers must submit a new application for each class previously incorporated in a portfolio filing of multiple classes. NOTES: (1) Notification of registration of each class included in a prospectus containing more than one class is required by the Montana Securities Department unless the issuer undertakes to “sticker” the prospectus indicating the classes not available to Montana investors; and (2) Issuers are encouraged to file their Consent to Service of Process with the Department at the trust level.
