David Kaufman presents West LegalEdcenter® webinar on SEC repeal of general solicitation rules

Chicago partner David Kaufman will present “SEC Repeal of General Solicitation Rules: Implications for Issuers, Accredited Investors and Qualified Institutional Buyers,” a West LegalEdcenter® webinar on Friday, Aug. 23, from 10 to 11 a.m. CST.

The program will address the SEC’s historic move to make private placements less "private" by adopting 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. The webcast 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
