Reporting Company can now raise Capital with Reg A+



Expansion of Regulation A+ for SEC Reporting Companies
We are pleased to share an exciting development in our ongoing campaign to enhance the capital raising opportunities for Small-Cap companies. Last week, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) was enacted into law and included key legislation expanding Regulation A+ to SEC reporting companies.

Regulation A+ allows small companies to raise up to $50 million online, transparently and directly from the public without the extensive cost burden of a full SEC public offering. However, the SEC initially did not allow SEC reporting companies to raise capital through Regulation A+.

The passage of The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S.2155) marks a pivotal milestone for our smaller companies and issuers. Section 508 of the bill incorporates the Improving Access to Capital Act, based in large part upon OTC Markets Group’s 2016 SEC Petition for Rulemaking. The Improving Access to Capital Act, which amends Regulation A+ to allow SEC reporting companies to use this innovative capital raising tool, was originally passed by the House of Representatives in September 2017 in a bipartisan, 404-3 vote.

OTC Markets Group believes this legislation will be instrumental to improving the capital raising process and increasing the number of public companies that can efficiently access our capital markets. We thank the members of the House and Senate who voted to pass S.2155, recognizing the work of Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Congressman Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN), lead sponsors of the Improving Access to Capital Act in the House, and collective efforts of Representatives Sinema and Hollingsworth, and cosponsors Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), Rep. French Hill (R-AR), Rep. Luke Messer (R-IN), and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), whose contributions led to this important initiative becoming law.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

  Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary brok

S1 Registration

A Form S1 represents the opening registration that a US firm must submit with the SEC prior to an Initial Public Offering. The Securities Act requires a registration statement, otherwise known as Securities and Exchange Commission Form S1, previous to security can be issued on a public exchange such as the NASDAQ, NYSE, or other exchanges. Foreign corporations can register with the SEC, but they must do so using the SEC Form F1. Corporations must fill out Form S1 to outline their intended use of capital proceeds, a description of their current business strategy and competition, and a brief prospectus for the new security, including offering pricing mechanism and any other dilution to other listed stocks.  The SEC also mandates that any material business conducted between the corporations and its directors and external counsel be disclosed. Investors can access S1 filings online in order to do due diligence on new offers before they go public.  As a result, businesses can use the SEC’s

Foreign Companies

Lately, we are getting many inquiries about dual listing or to list foreign companies either through IPO or RTO on OTCmarket. What are the benefits for foreign companies to be listed on OTC markets and how they can do that?  Is it an easy procedure, and what are the conditions? What is the main reason for companies that are listed on qualified foreign exchanges to trade on OTC markets? We are here to cater to your questions by providing you with the right answers. The first thing we need to start with is that this market is a global market. Only that fact gives you countless opportunities. To be listed on Wall Street which represents a vital center of global finance, for early-stage growth companies, and having access to US investors can bring a significant competitive advantage. It is appropriate for small businesses due to its regulatory structure, which gives better transparency and accessibility to a bigger pool of less risk-averse and more active investors. This is important for s
