We are excited to share the SEC’s press release which announced a new set of amendments to Regulation Crowdfunding as well as other exempt offerings. These new set of amendments would harmonize, simplify, and improve the exempt offering framework to promote capital formation and expand investment opportunities while preserving and enhancing important investor protections. Click here to view the summary of the proposed changes.

Here are some highlights:

For Regulation A:

• Raise the maximum offering amount from $50 million to $75 million

For Regulation Crowdfunding:

• Raise the maximum offering amount from $1.07 million to $5 million
• No investment limits for accredited investors
• Revising the calculation method for investment limits for non-accredited investors to allow them to rely on the greater of their annual income or net worth when calculating the limit on how much they can invest instead of the constricting “lesser of” rules.
• Allow SPVs for Regulation CF
• Allow Testing the Waters for Regulation CF

For Rule 504 of Regulation D:

• Raise the maximum offering amount from $5 million to $10 million.
