All About Regulation A Crowdfunding
At CrowdEngine we pride ourselves on understanding our clients’ needs, the regulations, and helping our clients succeed in the crowdfunding and Fintech industry. If you’re not familiar with the new crowdfunding rules and you want to get involved, it’s important to learn all you can about the rules.
Whether you’re a venture capital firm, angel group, startup, or real estate professional, you’ll always need a lawyer who can sign-off on everything, but as a smart entrepreneur you should also be informed about all your choices, and what the rules really say.
On March 25, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted final rules to implement Section 401 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act by expanding Regulation A into two tiers: Tier 1, for securities offerings of up to $20 million in a 12-month period; and Tier 2, for securities offerings of up to $50 million in a 12-month period. This amendment to Reg A, now commonly referred to as “Reg A+” helped to create additional flexibility in the offering process for issuers, so we thought we would share a great resource on the final Regulation A Rules (ecfr.gov).
Regulation A
§230.254 Preliminary offering circular
§230.255 Solicitations of interest and other communications
§230.256 Definition of “qualified purchaser”
§230.257 Periodic and current reporting; exit report
