On March 25, 2015, the SEC issued its final ruling amending Regulation A, an existing exemption from registration requirements for smaller issuers of securities. The new rules, commonly referred to as “Regulation A+,” were first proposed in December 2013 under Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act (subscription required). Regulation A+ is expected to increase access to capital markets for small companies that do not report to the SEC by exempting registration requirements for securities offerings of up to $50 million annually.
