What is the difference between Reg S and 144a?
In respect to this, what is a Reg S?
'Reg S' which refers to 'Regulation S' is simply a series of rules that clarify the SEC's position that securities offered and sold outside the U.S. don't need to be registered with the SEC.
Beside this, what is a Regulation S Security?
Regulation S is a "safe harbor" that defines when an offering of securities is deemed to be executed in another country and therefore not be subject to the registration requirement under section 5 of the 1933 Act. The regulation includes two safe harbor provisions: an issuer safe harbor and a resale safe harbor.
A Rule 144A equity offering is an unregistered offer and sale of equity securities issued by a U.S. or foreign company, the equity securities of which are neither listed on a U.S. securities exchange nor quoted on a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.
