  • Statement At Open Meeting on Reg A+ , SEC Commissioner Kara M. Stein, March 25, 2015

    Date 25/03/2015

    Today’s amendments to Regulation A are the next step in the Commission’s effort to respond to changes in our securities offering regulations required by the JOBS Act.  While I would have preferred today’s amendments take a different approach to preemption, I support the rule today and I truly hope it will successfully provide new options for small and mid-sized offerings.

  • Statement At Open Meeting on Reg A+ , SEC Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher, March 25, 2015

    Date 25/03/2015

    Thank you, Chair White.  Today I am delighted that the Commission is fulfilling its JOBS Act mandate to revitalize Regulation A, which has, for too long, been an underused way of raising capital, particularly as compared to its better-known cousin, Regulation D.  We have an urgent need to ensure that our rules promote capital formation for small businesses, and I hope that public exempt offerings under Regulation A can take their place beside private exempt offerings under Regulation D and registered offerings as viable means of raising capital.  Indeed, I’ve not been shy about my view that Title IV of the JOBS Act set the stage for us to do something revolutionary to encourage small business capital formation.

  • Statement At Open Meeting On Adoption of Regulation A Amendments, SEC Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar, March 25, 2015

    Date 25/03/2015

    Thank you, Chair White. I am pleased that we are adopting amendments to Regulation A to implement Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act. Title IV was enacted to facilitate capital formation by small and emerging businesses. Today’s amendments were rooted in a bipartisan bill, championed by Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Senator Jon Tester of Montana. So it is quite appropriate — nearly three years after the President signed the JOBS Act into law on April 5, 2012 — for the bipartisan Commission to finally adopt the implementing regulations.
