Form D is a notice of sales filed by issuers making an offering of securities in reliance on an exemption under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In Release No. 33-9415, the Commission adopted new Rule 506(c) of Regulation D to implement Section 201(a)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. In the release, the Commission also adopted an amendment to Form D to add a separate check box for issuers to indicate whether they are claiming an exemption under Rule 506(c). While we estimate that, under the amendment to Form D, the burden for responding to the collection of information in Form D will be substantially the same as before the amendment to Form D, we believe that the adoption of Rule 506(c), which removes the prohibition on the use of general solicitation or general advertising for a subset of Rule 506 offerings provided that certain conditions are met, will increase the number of Form D filings that are made with the Commission. Accordingly, we estimate that the rule and form amendments will result in approximately 3,637 new burden hours of in-house personnel time and an increase of $4,364,400 in costs for the services of outside professionals.
