(00:00:33) technology sectors and require notification of certain other transactions so treasury issued the final regulations for that EO last night that will come into effect on January 2nd so here the focus is on more active Capital that provides management expertise access to markets and other intangible benefits private Equity Funds VC funds and operating companies have clearly been in the cross shes while publicly traded Securities and investments in ETFs and index funds will be accepted so what this means is that
(00:01:08) funds with us General Partners will be prohibited in investing in certain Chinese companies that undertake activities with respect to semiconductors Quantum Computing and artificial intelligence and then certain other transactions will be required to be notified to the government for them to collect information to potentially take further regulatory action action so with respect to the Technologies more advanced semiconductors are subject to the prohibition but pretty much the whole semiconductor supply chain falls

(00:02:11) us LP Investments through foreign funds will also be covered uh us funds that have controlled foreign entities in third countries will have to be sure they comply and then us persons who are on investment committees board members officers and directors will have to recuse themselves from these kind of decisions in third countries um so weβve been helping a lot of clients prepare for that with recusal policies eing up due diligence procedures and updating fund and other documents
