Form S-1 is the most commonly used registration statement form. It allows issuers to register various types of offerings and the form can be used by both public and private companies engaged in going public transactions.
A registration statement on Form S-1 has two principal parts which require expansive disclosures. Part I of the registration statement is the prospectus which requires that the company provide certain disclosures about its business operations, financial condition, and management. Part II contains information that doesn’t have to be delivered to investors. The disclosures required by a Form S-1 registration statement are set forth in Regulation S-K and include the following:
