Corporate partner Guy P. Lander was quoted in the May 27 International Financial Law Review article “New Reg A Will Pre-empt IPO Onramp.” “Investment banks like that they can test the waters to see if there is real appetite for the deal, and it is expected that the overall qualification and SEC review process will have a lower cost and be quicker,” said Guy Lander. “It looks and acts like an SEC registration, but the language is different,” said Lander. “The whole structure is much more intensive than the old Reg A– this is more like a regular SEC review process than the old Reg A qualification process.” Lander noted SEC staff comments that the review process for these companies should be quicker and easier than for larger companies undergoing full registration.
