Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 260.102.16 - Limited Public Offering Exemption Notice of Transaction

(a) An issuer who conducts a transaction under Section 25102(n) of the Code shall file the notices of transaction with the Commissioner as follows:

(1) A First Notice of Transaction must be filed with the Commissioner concurrently with the earlier of the publication of the general announcement of the proposed offering or at the time of the initial offer of securities. The fee required by Section 25608(x) of the Code must accompany the filing. Each issuer (other than a California corporation) must also file a consent to service of process (Form 260.165), unless it already has a consent to service on file with the Commissioner. The filing should be accompanied with a cover letter indicating that the filing is pursuant to Section 25102(n), and if a consent to service is not included, a statement that the issuer already has a consent to service on file with the Commissioner. The claim of exemption is available upon the filing of the First Notice of Transaction and the payment of the filing fee, and terminates on the close or abandonment of the offering, but in no case more than 210 days from the date of the filing of the First Notice of Transaction.

(2) A Second Notice of Transaction Pursuant to Corporations Code Section 25102(n) must be filed within ten business days after the close or abandonment of the proposed offering, but in any case no more than 210 days from the date of the filing of the First Notice of Transaction.

(b) The term, "blind pool issuer," is defined to have the same meaning as the term, "blind pool company," found at Section 260.113.1(a)1. of these rules. However, for the purpose of the exemption from qualification provided by Section 25102(n) of the Code, the word "company" is used in a generic and comprehensive sense to include individuals, partnerships, corporations, and other forms of organization of an enterprise.

(c) This exemption is not available for transactions where the issuer has either failed to file the First Notice of Transaction or has failed to pay the required filing fee. However, failure to file the Second Notice of Transaction will not jeopardize the availability of the exemption.

(d) Form of the First Notice. The following form is to be used for transactions covered by subsection (a)(1):
