On January 25, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to propose certain amendments to the net worth standard for determining accredited investor status under the rules promulgated by the Securities Act of 1933. These amendments reflect the requirements of Section 413(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Although Section 413 was effective on July 21, 2010, upon enactment by operation of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC is still required to revise the Securities Act rules to reflect the new standard. In addition, the SEC is proposing technical amendments to Form D and a number of rules to conform them to the language of Section 413(a) and to correct cross-references to former Section 4(6) of the Securities Act, which was renumbered Section 4(5) by the Dodd-Frank Act.
