SEC VOTES TO LIFT BAN ON GENERAL SOLICITATION FOR
CERTAIN PRIVATE OFFERINGSThe Securities and Exchange Commission voted today to eliminate the prohibition on general solicitation and general advertising for certain private offerings and sales solely to “accredited investors” conducted pursuant to new Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as mandated by Section 201(a) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). The Commission also adopted rules to disqualify “felons and other ‘bad actors’” from participating in certain securities offerings as mandated by Section 926 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”). In conjunction with the new rule, the Commission approved a rule proposal requiring issuers to provide additional information about these securities offerings to enhance the SEC’s ability to “evaluate changes in the market and to address the development of practices” in Rule 506(c) offerings.
The final rule amendments become effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The rule proposals will undergo a 60-day public comment period following publication in the Federal Register.
