Private Placement Memorandums Brenda Hamilton
Submitted 2014-01-05 18:25:00 A private placement memorandum ("PPM") is also referred to as a confidential offering circular or memorandum. PPM's are used by private companies in going public transactions and by existing public companies to raise capital by selling either debt or equity in an exempt offering. These exempt offerings are usually private placements.

PPM disclosures vary depending on a couple of factors including whether the investor is accredited or non-accredited and whether the Company is subject to the SEC's reporting requirements, and a few other factors.

When a Company sells equity, it most often offers common shares to investors who then become shareholders of the Company. In going public transactions, the shares held by these investors will often by registered on Form S-1 so that the Company meets the requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") to obtain its ticker symbol assignment.

Regulation D

The common exemptions from registration for companies using PPM's to raise capital are provided by under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. With new Rule 506(c) allowing general solicitation Justin Morneau Jersey , the popularity of Rule 506(c) offerings will increase.

Rule 504 l PPM Not Required


Rule 504 which allows a Company not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to raise up to $1 million within a 12 month period. Rule 504 is often used by private companies going public to obtain seed capital. It does not have specific disclosure requirements and as such, so a PPM is not required.

PPM Disclosures l Non-Accredited Investors
Rule 505 l 506

Using Rule 505, reporting and non-reporting companies may raise up to $5 million in a 12 month period. Under Rule 506, reporting and non-reporting companies may raise an unlimited amount of capital. Both Rules 505 and Rule 506 permit companies to raise capital from an unlimited number of accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors.

When Rule 505 or 506 are private placements are only sold to accredited investors, there is no informational requirement and many times a PPM is not used. If a Company raises capital from even one non-accredited investor Nolan Arenado Jersey , unless it is an SEC filer, specific disclosures comparable to those found in a registration statement under the Securities Act must be made.

Antifraud Provisions

Even if a securities offering is exempt under any of the exemptions from registration discussed above, the anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws are still applicable.

PPM Disclosures

When a Company uses a PPM to raise capital, it should be prepared to provide investors with significant disclosures including financial information. The consequences of the Company failing to do so in its PPM can prevent the Company's offering from qualifying for an exemption from the securities registration requirements. It is therefore important for the Issuer to adhere strictly to the requirements for making a nonregistered offering of its securities. Should it fail to do so, the Company Jhoulys Chacin Jersey , its directors and its executive officers become personally liable and the investors will be able to rescind their investment.

Non-Reporting Company l PPM Disclosures

If the Company is a non-SEC filer, it must provide detailed information in its PPM about among other things:

♦ its business and industry;

♦ litigation;

♦ its authorized and outstanding securities;

♦ a description of the offering terms and whether any commissions or finders fees will be paid in connection with the offering;

♦ the risks of the offering including business, economic and other risks of investing in the securities being offered by the Company sufficient to enable the purchaser to make an informed investment decision;

♦ its management; and

♦ its corporate history.

If the Company is seeking to raise up to $2,000,000 Matt Belisle Jersey , it should provide an audited balance sheet for the prior two years which is less than 6 months old. For offerings over $7,500,000, it must provide the financial statements that would be required in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

Reporting Company l PPM Disclosures

SEC-reporting companies must provide unaccredited investors with a brief description of any information concerning the offering that it provided to accredited investors and give each non-accredited purchaser the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering. Potential investors are also entitled to any additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished to the purchaser.

Regulation D specifically prohibits the any form of general solicitation or general advertising .
