Form D is a notice filing to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Through required registration and detailed disclosure documents, the Securities Act aims to achieve two main objectives: (1) to require that investors receive financial and other important information about securities being offered for public sale, and (2) to prohibit misrepresentation and fraud in the sale of securities, both of which protect investors and the investment community. The Securities Act also, provides for exemptions from the lengthy registration requirements in the form of Rules 504, 506(b), and 506(c). The exemptions help alleviate the administrative burden of Securities filings and streamline the process for private companies to raise capital.
