I think you may be confusing two different concepts. Yes, foreign companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act for at least a year, have the requisite public float requirements and have no late filings and otherwise meet the requirments for filing on Form F-2, or F-3 (F-4 would be for a business combination and not a straight registration of the sale of securities as in the case of Unicom--you probably looked at Iusacell's exchange offer prospectus). In addition, filings after the fact are recorded on EDGAR, but not likely for a foreign issuer for an IPO, where as I said, Unicom may well have filed their F-1s (prior to the amendment that was distributed as the red) on a confidential basis, particularly with all the accompanying political issues surrounding PNTR. Most domestic issuers are required to file, in first instance, periodic reports via EDGAR. Not so foreign filers, not yet. Steve
