<p><strong><span class="tadv-color">President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act in 2012 after receiving overwhelming bipartisan support. The equity crowdfunding law helps startups and smaller businesses raise capital through innovative rules and regulatory rollback. The SEC began implementing the law in 2013 with Reg D 506(c).  </span></strong></p>
<h2><strong><span class="tadv-color">Reg D 506(c) </span></strong><span class="tadv-color"><strong>B</strong></span><span class="tadv-color"><strong>asics</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Amended Reg D 506 into ‘b’ and ‘c.’ Allows general solicitation for Reg D offerings for accredited investors only</strong></li>
<li><strong>Financial instruments are “restricted,” investors must generally hold them for one year</strong></li>
<li><strong>Issuer must take “reasonable steps” to verify investor status as accredited</strong></li>
<li><strong>Exempts from broker-dealer registration websites displaying Reg D offerings if profits derive from co-investment with accredited investors</strong></li>
<li><strong>Notice filing with SEC and states, offers take form of private-placement memorandums</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2><strong><span class="tadv-color">Reg D 506(c) So Far</span></strong></h2>
<p><strong>General solicitation has had a positive yet tiny effect on the private placement market. According to SEC data, for the approximately three-year period through the end of 2016, issuers raised $107.7 billion in debt and equity offerings under Rule 506(c); during the same period Reg D 506(b) issuers raised $2.2 trillion. Thus, Rule 506(c) offerings amount to only 3% of capital raised under Rule 506.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The availability of online marketplaces has had a positive effect: during the past three years, 16 online marketplaces have raised nearly $1.5 billion in over 6,000 private offerings for accredited investors.</strong></p>
