What this video covers
- When the information-delivery duty triggers: only for a non-accredited purchaser in a no-solicitation private placement, and why this attaches to the individual sale rather than the offering as a whole
- Why the "should consider" note for accredited investors is a suggestion, not a requirement, and how exam questions convert this into a wrong answer
- How financial-statement detail scales up at the $20,000,000 offering-size threshold for non-reporting issuers, and what reporting companies furnish instead
- Why the right to ask questions and get answers belongs to every purchaser in a no-solicitation private placement, accredited or non-accredited, as a separate and broader right
- Where general solicitation is permitted: the small-offering exemption's state-law paths and the accredited-only general-solicitation exemption
- What makes Regulation D securities restricted securities and why they cannot be resold without registration or another exemption
- How an issuer shows reasonable care to prevent resale with a view toward distribution, and why the three common methods (investment intent inquiry, written disclosure, restrictive legend) are examples rather than the only ways
