insert

(2)If a person:

(a)proposes to prepare a Product Disclosure Statement or a supplementary Product Disclosure Statement for a superannuation product during the period commencing on the day on which this subregulation commences and ending on 22 June 2012; and

(b)is permitted to decide, in accordance with regulation 4 of the Corporations Amendment Regulations 2010 (No. 5), to prepare the Product Disclosure Statement or supplementary Product Disclosure Statement in accordance with Subdivision D of Division 2 of Part 7.9 of the Act; and

(c)prepares the Product Disclosure Statement or supplementary Product Disclosure Statement in accordance with that Subdivision;

the preparation of the Product Disclosure Statement or supplementary Product Disclosure Statement is taken to be full compliance with all requirements of Part 7.9 of the Act and these Regulations relating to how the Product Disclosure Statement or supplementary Product Disclosure Statement is to be prepared.

Note The Corporations Amendment Regulations 2010 (No. 5) amended these Regulations to make new arrangements for the preparation of Product Disclosure Statements for superannuation products, including identifying that Subdivision D of Division 2 of Part 7.9 of the Act would no longer apply. However, the transitional arrangements in subregulations 4 (1) to (7) of the Amendment Regulations allowed certain persons to decide to rely on Subdivision D of Division 2 of Part 7.9 of the Act for the purpose of preparing the Product Disclosure Statement.
