1933 (‘‘Section 4(a)(6)’’). Rule 300
requires an intermediary to be registered
with the Commission as a broker or as
a funding portal and be a member of a
registered national securities
association.2
Rule 301 requires intermediaries to
have a reasonable basis for believing
that an issuer seeking to offer and sell
securities in reliance on Section 4(a)(6)
through the intermediary’s platform
complies with the requirements in
Section 4A(b) of the Securities Act and
the related requirements in Regulation
Crowdfunding. Rule 302 provides that
no intermediary or associated person of
an intermediary may accept an
investment commitment in a transaction
involving the offer or sale of securities
made in reliance on Section 4(a)(6) until
the investor has opened an account with
the intermediary and the intermediary
has obtained from the investor consent
to electronic delivery of materials. Rule
303 requires an intermediary to make
publicly available on its platform the
information that an issuer of
crowdfunding securities is required to
provide to potential investors, in a
manner that reasonably permits a
person accessing the platform to save,
download, or otherwise store the
information, for a minimum of 21 days
before any securities are sold in the
offering, during which time the
intermediary may accept investment
commitments. Rule 303 also requires
intermediaries to comply with the
requirements related to the maintenance
and transmission of funds. An
intermediary that is a registered broker
is required to comply with the
requirements of Rule 15c2–4 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) (Transmission or
Maintenance of Payments Received in
Connection with Underwritings).3 An
intermediary that is a registered funding
portal must direct investors to transmit
the money or other consideration
directly to a qualified third party that
has agreed in writing to hold the funds
for the benefit of, and to promptly
transmit or return the funds to, the
persons entitled thereto in accordance
with Regulation Crowdfunding.
The rules also require intermediaries
to implement and maintain systems to
comply with the information disclosure,
communication channels, and investor
notification requirements. These
requirements include providing
disclosure about compensation at
account opening (Rule 302), obtaining
investor acknowledgements to confirm

investor qualifications and review of
educational materials (Rule 303),
providing investor questionnaires (Rule
303), providing communication
channels with third parties and among
investors (Rule 303), notifying investors
of investment commitments (Rule 303),
confirming completed transactions
(Rule 303) and confirming or
reconfirming offering cancellations
(Rule 304).
The Commission staff estimates that
there will be 136 intermediaries engaged
in crowdfunding activity and therefore
subject to Rules 300–304. The
Commission staff estimates the
annualized industry burden will be
38,317 hours to comply with Rules 300–
304. The Commission staff further
estimates that the costs associated with
complying with Rules 300–304 will be
a total amount of $18,750,000.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
