Abstract: Rule 22d-1 (17 CFR 270.22d-1) is an exemptive rule that allows registered investment companies that issue redeemable securities to offer scheduled variations in or elimination of the sales load on such securities. A registered investment company that chooses to rely on rule 22d-1 must meet certain conditions and notice requirements. This collection, among other things, involves a third-party disclosure requirement to furnish adequate information concerning any scheduled variation to shareholders and investors in registration statements.
