Form S-1 Selling Shareholders Disclosures – Going Public Lawyers
Companies going public have a variety of structures for their transactions. Companies can sell shares in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and file a selling shareholder registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale of those shares on Form S-1. A selling shareholder registration statement can be combined with a capital raising transaction to provide capital to offset going public costs.
Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended sets forth the requirements for selling shareholder disclosures.
Item 507 of Regulation S-K requires the following disclosures:
• Name of each selling security holder and if a corporate entity its control person
• Relationship between each selling shareholder and the company
• Relationship between each selling shareholder and one another
• Number of shares being registered?
• Number of outstanding shares held before and after the offering
• Percentage of shares owned before and after the offering assuming all shares are sold
Officers and directors and other affiliates can register a limited number of shares, in most cases less than 1%, of total holdings owned by all stockholders.
