Companies can solicit investor interest for a potential Regulation A+ offering, both before and after the filing of their Form 1-A offering statement with the SEC. The issuer’s solicitation materials used after the Form 1-A offering statement is publicly filed, must be accompanied by a preliminary offering circular or provide a URL where the preliminary offering statement can be obtained. Additionally, materials used to solicit investors must be filed as exhibits to the Form 1-A offering statement.

The Regulation A+ amendments include new forms and revamping Form 1-A. Regulation A+ expands existing Regulation A. Regulation A+ offerings can be used in combination with direct public offerings and initial public offerings as part of a going public transaction. The Regulation A+ exemption allows companies to more easily obtain initial shareholders required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). While Form 1-A requires less information than a Form S-1 registration statement, expansive disclosures are required.

It provides several benefits over registered IPOs including no restriction on resales and the ability to voluntarily become an SEC reporting company. Companies must meet certain requirements regarding audits, disclosures, and bad actor restrictions to utilize Regulation A+.
Regulation A+ expands existing Regulation A to allow companies to raise up to $50 million from both accredited and non-accredited investors through public offerings.

Form 1-A and Regulation A- Form 1-A consists of three parts: Part I – Notification, Part II – Offering Circular, and Part III – Exhibits. Part I calls for certain basic information about the company and the offering, and is primarily designed to confirm and determine eligibility for the use of a Regulation A offering in general. Part I also includes disclosure related to the application of the bad actor disqualification; jurisdictions in which securities are to be offered; and unregistered securities issued or sold within the prior one year...
The process of “going public” with a SEC registration statement is complex and at times precarious. While going public offers many benefits it also comes with risks and quantities of regulations with which issuers must become familiar. Despite the risks even in a down economy, the U.S. markets remain an attractive source of capital for both domestic and foreign issuers. It is important for issuers to have an experienced securities attorney to help navigate through the process and deal with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Financial Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) & Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
Tier 1 of Regulation A+ provides an exemption for
securities offerings of up to $20 million in a 12-
month period while Tier 2 provides an exemption
for securities offerings of up to $50 million in a 12-
month period. An issuer of $20 million or less of
securities in its offering can elect to proceed under
either Tier 1 or Tier 2.
This document summarizes SEC reporting obligations for public companies. It explains that publicly traded companies must file periodic reports with the SEC including annual 10-K reports, quarterly 10-Q reports, and current 8-K reports. It also discusses requirements for smaller reporting companies, including scaled disclosure requirements and extended filing deadlines. Failure to comply with SEC reporting obligations can result in enforcement actions and restrictions on shareholders' ability to sell securities.
Securities & Capital Markets Insights: Regulation A PlusLexisNexis
Regulation A+ modernizes the offering process and provides an important capital-raising alternative for private companies by exempting certain small capital-raising efforts from Securities Act registration requirements. It establishes two tiers - Tier 1 allows offerings up to $20 million and Tier 2 allows up to $50 million. Tier 2 offerings have additional ongoing filing obligations but are exempt from state securities law registration. Regulation A+ eases the burden for small public offerings and provides a meaningful option for smaller companies to raise capital other than through private offerings or IPOs.

Public Company Reporting (Series: Securities Law Made Simple (Not Really) Financial Poise
Once public, a company is subject to a continuously evolving landscape of disclosure and reporting requirements. Recent disclosure developments have addressed everything from executive compensation to cybersecurity. In addition, the prevalence of social media has made it such that a company must now consider not only the nuances of what to disclose but also how to deliver that disclosure. Is your company tweeting its earnings reports; are you using your corporate Facebook page to make Regulation FD disclosures?
In this webinar our expert panel provides you with a high-level overview of key public company reporting and disclosure requirements, including the latest developments brought about by the Dodd-Frank Act, JOBS Act, FAST Act and, most recently, the SEC’s Disclosure Effectiveness Initiative, as well as provide you with tangible examples and practical advice on how to comply with the ever-changing means of delivering that disclosure.

The EB-5 investor visa program is becoming more popular since Rule 506 (c) became law allowing issuers to advertise their offerings to foreign investors seeking U.S. residency. As with any investment proper due diligence is crucial. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Office of Investor Education and Advocacy and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) have issued recent warnings to foreign investors regarding the fraudulent use of the EB-5 program.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”), through its subsidiaries, provides clearing, settlement and information services for securities. DTCC’s subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) was created to improve efficiencies and reduce risk in the clearance and settlement of securities transactions. Not all securities are eligible to be settled through DTC. DTC Eligibility has become an often unexpected burden for companies in going public transactions.
The OTC Markets OTCQX offers foreign issuers seeking to go public in the U.S. an appealing alternative to listing on a stock exchange. Foreign issuers whose securities are listed on a foreign stock exchange that qualify for the exemption from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), can go public in the U.S by quotation of their securities on the OTCQX without registration or reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
More and more issuers going public opt for a direct public offering. In a direct public offering management sells shares of the company’s stock directly to investors, rather than through the efforts of an underwriter. Going public with a direct public offering eliminates costs and risks associated with a reverse merger transaction. Private companies conducting a direct public offering should consider the pointers below to ensure a successful and cost-effective going public transaction.
Investor relations or stock promotion involves the dissemination of information about a public company to increase its stock price and/or trading volume.
The person who publishes this information is sometimes referred to as a “Stock Promoter”, “Investor Relations Provider” or “Stock Tout”.

Regulation A+ Compliance
1. Regulation A+ Compliance Procedures
Last month Regulation A+ became effective. The new rule creates two Tiers of exempt
offerings, both of which allow securities to be offered and sold to the general public, if
certain conditions are met.
Tier 1 & Tier 2 of Regulation A+
Using Tier 1 of Regulation A+, issuers may offer and sell up to $20 million of securities
in a 12-month period. The biggest drawback to Tier 1 offerings is that state Blue Sky laws
are not preempted. Tier 2 offerings do preempt state Blue Sky laws and permit the
issuer to raise up to $50 million in a 12-month period. As discussed below, Tier 2
offerings require the issuer to provide audited financial statements and comply with
ongoing SEC reporting obligations.
Confidential Submission Of The Form 1-A Offering Statement
A Company may submit its Form 1-A Offering Statement to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on a confidential basis before it is filed publicly so long as the
documents are publicly filed not later than 21 calendar days before qualification by the
SEC.
What Is Testing The Waters In a Regulation A+ Offering?
Companies can solicit investor interest for a potential Regulation A+ offering, both
before and after the filing of their Form 1-A offering statement with the SEC. The
issuer’s solicitation materials used after the Form 1-A offering statement is publicly
filed, must be accompanied by a preliminary offering circular or provide a URL where
the preliminary offering statement can be obtained. Additionally, materials used to
solicit investors must be filed as exhibits to the Form 1-A offering statement.
What Disclosures Are Required In Form 1-A Offering Circular?
Companies conducting Regulation A+ offerings must file an offering statement on Form
1-A with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The form must be filed through the
SEC’s EDGAR system. Form 1-A Offering Circulars include Part I (Notification), Part II
(Offering Circular), and Part III (Exhibits).
The disclosures required in Regulation A+ Offering Circulars are similar to those found
in a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act. The disclosure
requirements for Tier 1 and Tier 2 offerings vary slightly. The following disclosures are
required:
Basic information about the company, the offering and underwriters, if any,
2. Underwriting discounts and commissions,
Summary of risk factors,
Material differences between the offering price and the amount paid for shares by
insiders during the past year,
Plan of distribution,
Selling security-holders,
How offering proceeds will be spent,
Business operations for the prior three fiscal years or since inception, if less than
three years,
Physical property/real estate,
Management’s discussion and analysis of the company’s liquidity and capital
resources and results of operations,
Directors, executive officers and significant employees of the company,
Executive compensation,
Beneficial ownership by officers, directors and 10% owners,
Transactions with related parties, promoters and certain control persons, and
Material terms of the shares being offered.
What Are The Financial Statement Requirements For Regulation A+?
Tier 1 and Tier 2 offerings require the company to provide financial statements for the
two most recent fiscal years. An important distinction between Tier 1 and Tier 2
offerings is that Tier 2 companies must provide audited financial statements, while Tier
1 companies may provide unaudited financial statements.
U.S. based companies must prepare their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures (GAAP), while Canadian companies may
prepare their financial statements in accordance with either US GAAP or International
Financial Reporting Standards of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB
IFRS).
Delivery Of The Offering Circular To Investors
During the pre-qualification period of Regulation A+ offerings, companies must provide
a preliminary offering circular to prospective investors at least 48 hours before the sale.
When a company is subject to ongoing Tier 2 reporting obligations and current in its
obligations, delivery of a preliminary offering circular is not required. Under these
circumstances, the company and any intermediaries are subject to the general offering
circular delivery requirements.
Within two business days after each sale, companies and intermediaries must provide
investors with a copy of the final offering circular or provide a notice identifying where
investors may obtain the final offering circular on EDGAR and contact information for
the company or intermediary.
Qualification Of The Offering Statement
3. Offering statements must be qualified by the SEC before sales can occur. Once the SEC
is satisfied with the disclosures that comply with Regulation A+, it will issue a notice of
qualification. The notice of qualification is similar to the notice of effectiveness issued by
the SEC for Form S-1 registration statements.
Continuous & Delayed Offerings
Regulation A+ permits continuous or delayed offerings. Companies conducting
continuous or delayed Tier 2 offerings must be current in their annual and semi-annual
reporting obligations. A company can add additional securities to their Form 1-A
Offering Statement by submitting a post-qualified amendment to its previously qualified
offering statement.
Regulation A+ allows continuous or delayed offerings as follows:
Securities offered or sold by or on behalf of a person other than the company, its
subsidiary or a person of which the company is a subsidiary,
Securities offered and sold pursuant to a dividend or interest reinvestment plan
or employee benefit plan,
Securities issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or rights,
Securities issued upon the conversion of outstanding securities,
Securities pledged as collateral for a loan or other obligation,
Securities that are part of an offering that begins within two days after the
offering’s qualification date, will be offered on a continuous basis, may continue
to be offered for a period in excess of 30 days after initial qualification, and will
be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is
reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years after the initial
offering qualification.
