Private Placements of Securities Effective Date

On December 3, 2012 the SEC Approved New FINRA Rule 5123 Regarding Private Placements. FINRA Rule 5123 requires each FINRA member that sells an issuer’s securities in a private placement, subject to certain exemptions, to file with FINRA a copy of any private placement memorandum, term sheet or other offering document the firm used, within 15 calendar days of the date of the sale, or indicate that it did not use any such offering documents.

Firms must file the required offering documents electronically through FINRA’s new private offering filing system through the FINRA Firm Gateway.

In addition, firms must submit filings regarding member firm private offerings (MPOs), as required by FINRA Rule 5122 (Private Placements of Securities Issued By Members), through the same FINRA Gateway system.
