These changes aim to accurately reflect the original intent of the final rule.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is proposing to change the rules around selling certain types of securities. They want to revise how the holding period is determined for securities obtained from market-adjustable ones, specifically for companies that are not listed on a national exchange. This means the holding period won't start until the securities are actually received upon conversion. The SEC also plans to require that Form 144 be filed electronically for companies subject to Exchange Act reporting, align the filing deadline for Form 144 with Form 4, and remove the need to file Form 144 for selling securities of companies not subject to Exchange Act reporting. These changes aim to make the process simpler and more transparent for investors and to prevent unregistered sales of securities.

This correction adds the missing instructions to ensure the headings are revised as intended.
