APRA consults on proposed class exemption to own or control an RSE licensee
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released for consultation a draft instrument to exempt a certain class of registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licensee directors from the change of control and ownership provisions of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act).
The proposed exemption intends to remove the requirement to obtain approval to own or control an RSE licensee for certain RSE licensee directors holding shares in the RSE licensee, where they are not entitled to a personal financial benefit from the shareholding.
Submissions should be submitted to APRA by 17 May 2023.
The letter to industry and the draft instrument are available on the APRA website at: Proposed class exemption to own or control an RSE licensee.
