In this episode you will learn:
- The Securities Act of 1933 governs the primary market, requiring registration and full disclosure for all non-exempt new issues.
- The key phases of registration are the pre-filing, the cooling-off period (where marketing is allowed with a preliminary prospectus), and the post-effective period (where sales can occur).
- A final prospectus, containing the offering price, must be delivered to all purchasers no later than the confirmation of the sale.
- Key exemptions from registration include government securities, private placements under Regulation D, and intrastate offerings under Rule 147.
- Issuers and underwriters face strict civil liability for any material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement.
