SEC FORM S-1 (Registration of Shares for an IPO of Certain U.S. Companies):

​

Private companies seeking to raise capital often file a Registration Statement on SEC Form S-1 or Offering Circular on Form 1-A pursuant to Regulation A+ in connection with their going public transaction.  Both options have unique benefits. For Example, All companies qualify to register securities on a Form S-1 Registration Statement, while only certain issuers qualify to use Regulation A+. 

​

A Form S-1 registration statement has two principal parts which require line item disclosures.  Part I of the Form S-1 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.

 

​

General Information Requirements in Form S-1 Registration Statements

​

Four primary regulations apply to the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on SEC Form S-1. Each is discussed below:

​

• Regulation C – contains the general requirements for preparing and filing the Form S-1, including within Regulation Care regulations and procedures related to (a) the treatment of confidential information; (b) amending a registration statement prior to effectiveness; (c) procedures to file a post-effective amendment; and (d) the “plain English” rule.

​

• Regulation S-K – sets forth, in detail, all the disclosure requirements for all the sections of the S-1. Regulation S-K is the who, what, where, when and how requirements to complete the S-1.

​

• (ii) Regulation S-T – requires that all registration statements, exhibits and documents be electronically filed through the SEC’s EDGAR system.

​

• Regulation S-X – sets forth the requirements with respect to the form and content of financial statements to be filed with the SEC. Regulation S-X includes general rules applicable to the preparation of all financial statements and specific rules pertaining to particular industries and types of businesses.

​

SEC Form S-1 Registration Statements include: (i) a cover page; (ii) Part I which is known as the prospectus; (iii) Part II which is known as supplemental disclosure) (iv) undertakings; (v) signatures and powers of attorney; (vi) consents; and (vii) required exhibits.

​

Form S-1 is filed on the SEC EDGAR system in HTML format. The SEC only accepts a simplified version of HTML, requiring the source documents to be converted using specialized SEC EDGAR software (as opposed to simply using the "Save as HTML" option in a word processor). Form S-1 also requires the filing entity to be registered with the SEC EDGAR system and have valid EDGAR filing codes, and pay a fee based on the number and offering price of the shares being registered.
