Section 73-207(a)(10) of the Act exempts from registration any commercial paper which arises out of a current transaction (or the proceeds of which have been or are to be used for current transactions), and which evidences an obligation to pay cash within nine months of the date of issuance, exclusive of days of grace, or any renewal of such paper which is likewise limited, or any guarantee of such paper or of any such renewal. This exemption is a narrow and specialized one. It applies only to prime quality negotiable commercial paper of a type not ordinarily purchased by the general public, that is, paper issued to facilitate well recognized types of current operational business requirements and of a type eligible for discounting by Federal Reserve Banks. The exemption is not available for the unregistered public offering of promissory or collateral trust notes or similar evidences of debt of any issuer directly to public investors through solicitation or otherwise. Pursuant to Section 73-202 of the Act, any such offering must be registered or exempt from registration under an exemption other than that provided by Section 73-207(a)(10) of the Act.
