Should Angel Investors be exempt from SEC Reg. D, which prohibits general solicitation/advertising of an offering?
This bill directs the SEC to revise Regulation D, to not apply to angel investor groups unconnected to broker-dealers or investment advisers—where presentations or communications are made by or on behalf of an issuer, but:
• the advertising does not refer to any specific offering of securities by the issuer;
• the sponsor does not provide investment recommendation or advice to attendees, engage in investment negotiations with attendees, charge certain fees, or receive certain compensation; and
• no specific information regarding a securities offering is communicated beyond the type and amount of securities being offered, the amount of securities already subscribed for, and the intended use of proceeds from the offering.
Sponsor: Rep. Chabot, Steve [R-OH-1]
