Raising capital in private transactions is big business, for new, small and large companies alike. If this hasn’t been your practice are before and is now, join us at this session to explore with experienced practitioners the basic legal and regulatory framework for raising capital privately – covering the Securities Act exemption and Regulation D and changes to that framework made by the Dodd-Frank Act. We’ll also introduce you to the key concepts and jargon (e.g., bad boy investors) you’ll need to get through a capital raising with comfort. The session will cover finding (soliciting) investors, what the offering materials need to cover and look like, state blue sky (another piece of jargon we’ll cover), restricted stock and who the regulators are.
