In a historic and long-anticipated move to make private placements less "private," the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently adopted final rules allowing general solicitation and general advertising in private placements. Issuers can offer the securities to anyone, through any medium, including the Internet or any social media, even if they do not qualify as an accredited investor, so long as only accredited investors actually purchase the securities. These much anticipated and long overdue rule changes carry many implications for capital formation. During this engaging webcast program we will address the ten most notable implications to ponder, including but not limited to:
• Boon to financial issuers
• Market size
• Advertising
• Boost to private equity
• Navigating the regulatory scheme
