SEC opens public comment period for changes to exemption regulations

April 09, 2020

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is accepting public comments regarding their proposed changes to exempt offerings regulations. These modifications, originally announced last month, aim to streamline and expand the fundraising abilities for businesses while still qualifying as exempt from the SEC’s registration requirements. These changes include the separation of “demo days” from the general solicitation category, providing a new outlet for companies to advertise to potential investors.

The Federal Register entry will remain open for public comment until June 1st. Comments can be submitted via webform, email or mail. Find additional details and instructions on SEC’s website.
