OAR 836-027-0035: Forms; Incorporation by Reference, Summaries, and Omissions

(1) Information required by any item of Form A, B, D, E or F may be incorporated by reference in answer or partial answer to any other item. Information contained in any financial statement, annual report, proxy statement, statement filed with a governmental authority or any other document may be incorporated by reference in answer or partial answer to any item of Form A, B, D, E or F if the document or paper is filed as an exhibit to the statement. Excerpts of documents may be attached as exhibits if the documents are extensive. Documents currently on file with the Director that were filed within three years need not be filed as exhibits. References to information contained in exhibits or in documents already on file shall clearly identify the material and shall specifically indicate that such material is to be incorporated by reference in answer to the item. Matter shall not be incorporated by reference in any case in which the incorporation would render the statement incomplete, unclear, or confusing. (2) If an item requires a summary or outline of the provisions of any document, only a brief statement of the pertinent provisions of the document shall be made. The summary or outline may in addition incorporate by reference particular parts of any exhibit or document currently on file with the Director that was filed within three years and may be qualified in its entirety by such reference. If two or more documents required to be filed as exhibits are substantially identical in all material respects except as to the parties thereto, the dates of execution or other details, a copy of only one of such documents need be filed, but it shall have attached a schedule identifying the omitted documents and setting forth the material details in which such documents differ from the documents of which a copy is filed.
