The Wreck of Regulation D: The Unintended (and Bad) Outcomes for the SEC's CrownJewel Exemptions

Abstract:

Regulation D is — or at least should be — the crown jewel of the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulatory exemptions from the registration requirements ofthe Securities Act of 1933. It offers businesses — especially businesses with relatively small capital requirements — fair and efficient access to vital, external capital.

In this article, I present data derived from deep samples of recent Form Ds filed with the Commission. The data show that Regulation D is not working in the way theCommission intended or in a way that benefits society. The data reveal that companies attempting to raise relatively small amounts of capital under Regulation D overwhelmingly forego the low transaction costs of offerings under Rule 504 and Rule 505 in favor of meeting the more onerous (and more expensive) requirementsof Rule 506. Additionally, these companies overwhelmingly limit their relatively small offerings to accredited investors, which dramatically reduces the pool ofpotential investors.

This unintended and bad outcome is the result of the burdens imposed by state blue sky laws and regulations, and this has to a large degree wrecked the sensibleand balanced approach of the Commission in Regulation D.

Reclaiming Regulation D requires the elimination of state authority over all Regulation D offerings. State regulators, however, have proven to be aggressive andeffective in protecting their turf. Although the Commission has the ability — and I believe the duty — to solve this problem for the benefit of the economy, it has a history of an unwillingness to take on state regulators, even in instances where state regulations essentially destroy the Commission's sensible and balanced regimefor capital formation. Congress also could solve the problem by expanding federal preemption to cover all offerings made under Regulation D.
