On October 26, 2016, the SEC adopted final rules (1) amending Rule 147 and Rule 504 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (2) establishing a new Securities Act exemption designated Rule 147A, and (3) repealing Rule 505 under the Securities Act.  Amended Rule 147 and new Rule 147A will take effect on April 20, 2017, amended Rule 504 will take effect on January 20, 2017, and the repeal of Rule 505 will take effect on May 20, 2017.  Amended Rule 147 facilitates offerings relying upon recently adopted intrastate crowdfunding exemptions under state securities laws, new Rule 147A further accommodates offers accessible to out-of-state residents and companies that are incorporated or organized out-of-state, and amended Rule 504 increases the aggregate amount of securities that may be offered and sold in any twelve-month period from $1 million to $5 million and disqualifies certain bad actors from participating in Rule 504 offerings.
