The Book on PPMs: Regulation D Rule 506 Edition (New Renaissance Series on Corporate Strategies) - Tapa blanda

The most notable advantage of Rule 506 is that it takes the place of and forestalls the securities law of all the states. Rule 506 vastly simplifies the need to figure out what the particular state provisions are. This saves a tremendous amount of the lawyer's or entrepreneur' Unlike Rule 146, the SEC extended the accredited investors concept to large offerings. As a result, 506 allows for a larger number of investors to participate in an exempt offering that allows an issuer to raise unlimited amounts of capital without specific disclosure requirements.

Like the Rule 146, in Rule 506 issuer is required to weigh up the final sophistication of non-accredited investors, the duty under Rule 506 is less burdened. Rule 506 requires the evaluation of purchasers alone and eliminates the primary source of uncertainty for issuers of large exempt offering.

Unlike in Rule 146, under Rule 506, the issuer must determine whether each purchaser is financially refined or has purchaser representative, not whether a purchaser can stand possible economic loss.

Companies are entitled to decide upon what information is to be delivered to the accredited investors, as long as it does not infringe the anti-fraud prohibitions of the federal securities law. Other than accredited investors company should also provide disclosure documents that are same as those used in registered offerings. Non accredited investors are entitled to the same information provided to accredited investors.

The companies are allowed to sell securities to an unlimited number of " accredited investors" up to 35 other purchases. Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must have enough knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to them proficient in evaluating the advantages and risks of the prospective investment.

Companies complying Rule 506 exemption do not require registering their securities and generally do not have to file reports with the SEC, but they must file a document known as " Form D" after they first sell their securities. Form D (a brief notice) contains information like the names and addresses of the company's owners and stock promoters but has little information about the company.

Another advantage of 506 is that the Purchasers receive " restricted" securities; such securities cannot be sold for at least a year without registering them.
