Sec Form D PDF Details

At the heart of navigating the complexities of raising capital through securities lies the critical, yet often underappreciated, Form D. This form, mandatorily filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), serves as a notice of an exempt offering of securities, a common avenue for companies seeking funding without the rigors of a full SEC registration. Companies must tread carefully, noting the form’s expiration date—currently set at April 30, 2023—and the thoroughness required in its completion to avoid the severe repercussions associated with intentional misstatements or omissions. With an estimated average burden of 4 hours per response, the form demands details about the issuer, including entity type and principal business information, specifics of the offering, the type of filing, and data on related persons, to name just a few. Such filings not only fulfill a legal requirement but also serve as a public declaration of the offering, crucial for transparency and compliance in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Beyond the surface, Form D is tightly interwoven with various exemptions under laws like the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, each carrying its own set of conditions and implications. This intricate interplay underscores the importance of due diligence and the potential need for professional guidance in navigating these regulatory waters—a testament to the form’s critical role in the domain of securities law.

Terms of Submission. In Submitting this notice, each issuer named above is:

Notifying the SEC and/or each State in which this notice is filed of the offering of securities described and undertaking to furnish them, upon written request, in accordance with applicable law, the information furnished to offerees.*

Irrevocably appointing each of the Secretary of the SEC and the Securities Administrator or other legally designated officer of the State in which the issuer maintains its principal place of business and any State in which this notice is filed, as its agents for service of process, and agreeing that these persons may accept service on its behalf, of any notice, process or pleading, and further agreeing that such service may be made by registered or certified mail, in any Federal or state action, administrative proceeding, or arbitration brought against the issuer in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, if the action, proceeding or arbitration (a) arises out of any activity in connection with the offering of securities that is the subject of this notice, and (b) is founded, directly or indirectly, upon the provisions of: (i) the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or any rule or regulation under any of these statutes; or (ii) the laws of the State in which the issuer maintains its principal place of business or any State in which this notice is filed.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Washington, DC 20549

Instructions for Submitting a Form D Notice

General3. RelatedInstructionsPersons (CONTINUED)

Who must file: Each issuer of securities that sells its securities in reliance on an exemption provided in Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933 must file this notice containing the information requested with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with the state(s) requiring it. If more than one issuer has sold its securities in the same transaction, all issuers should be identified in one filing with the SEC, but some states may require a separate filing for each issuer or security sold.

When to file:

o An issuer must file a new notice with the SEC for each new offering of securities no later than 15 calendar days after the "date of first sale" of securities in the offering as explained in the Instruction to Item 7. For this purpose, the date of first sale is the date on which the first investor is irrevocably contractually committed to invest, which, depending on the terms and conditions of the contract, could be the date on which the issuer receives the investor's subscription agreement or check. An issuer may file the notice at any time before that if it has determined to make the offering. An issuer must file a new notice with each state that requires it at the time set by the state. For state filing information, go to www.NASAA.org. A mandatory capital commitment call does not constitute a new offering, but is made under the original offering, so no new Form D filing is required.

oAn issuer may file an amendment to a previously filed notice at any time.

oAn issuer must file an amendment to a previously filed notice for an offering:

-to correct a material mistake of fact or error in the previously filed notice, as soon as practicable after discovery of the mistake or error;

-to reflect a change in the information provided in the previously filed notice, except as provided below, as soon as practicable after the change; and

-annually, on or before the first anniversary of the most recent previously filed notice, if the offering is continuing at that time.

When amendment is not required: An issuer is not required to file an amendment to a previously filed notice to reflect a change that occurs after the offering terminates or a change that occurs solely in the following information:

-the address or relationship to the issuer of a related person identified in response to Item 3;

-an issuer's revenues or aggregate net asset value;

-the minimum investment amount, if the change is an increase, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice, does not result in a decrease of more than 10%;

-any address or state(s) of solicitation shown in response to Item 12;

-the total offering amount, if the change is a decrease, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice, does not result in an increase of more than 10%;

-the amount of securities sold in the offering or the amount remaining to be sold;

-the number of non-accredited investors

who have invested in the offering, as long as the change does not increase the number to more than 35;

-the total number of investors who have invested in the offering; and

-the amount of sales commissions, finders' fees or use of proceeds for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters, if the change is a decrease, or if the change, together with all other changes in that amount since the previously filed notice, does not result in an increase of more than 10%.

Saturdays, Sundays and holidays: If the date on which a notice or an amendment to a previously filed notice is required to be filed falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the due date is the first business day following.

Amendment content: An issuer that files an amendment to a previously filed notice must provide current information in response to all items of this Form D, regardless of why the amendment is filed.

How to file: ISSUERS MUST FILE THIS NOTICE WITH THE SEC IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT. For state filing

information, go to www.NASAA.org.

Filing fee: There is no federal fiing fee. For information on state filing fees, go to www. NASAA.org.

Definitions of terms: Terms used but not defined in this form that are defined in Rule 405 and Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, 17 CFR 230.405 and 230.501, have the meanings given to them in those rules.
