PIPE stands for “Private Investment in a Public Entity”, and the way people think of them are about to change, all to the benefit of Reg.A+. With the signing of the ““Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act”, Regulation A+ now has validity to every single company listed on a major exchange!

RegAMoney.com: When big news in the Regulation A+ marketplace breaks, you can always depend on the “Reg.A Money Show” to be on the forefront of all industry happenings. In this podcast, we break a huge story that basically puts Regulation A+ offerings over the top! Previously, Reg.A+ was not available to reporting companies, but with the newly signed “Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act” that is not the case anymore. How impactful is this? Well, it means that reporting companies (which make up just about every business listed on a major exchange for the most part) can now take part in Regulation A+, where they were previously deemed ineligible before this decision. Listen to the podcast and learn why the number of Regulation A+ offerings are about to skyrocket!

RegAMoney.com: Investors are the lifeblood of every Regulation A+ offering. As such, it’s important for every Reg.A+ issuer to understand they need to take steps to continually “sell the dream” and become fundamentally sound in your company structure, procedures, and documentation - and that all begins with your Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation will set the ability to issue company stock through a subscription out of treasury and to a shareholder. Many times this is done with a transfer agent, but smaller companies can do this themselves. So why is it so important to designate your amended articles “blank check preferred” and why is 30% such a magic number for Reg.A+ investors? Listen to this episode of the “Reg.A Money Show” and you’ll understand why.

RegAMoney.com: Over the previous three episodes of the “Reg. A Money Show”, we’ve discussed what the realistic costs of creating a Reg.A+ offering are, how to use term-sheets to get the seed financing to do a Regulation A+, and how to use preferred shares to set up your stock structure for your Reg.A deal. This podcast ties the process all together from initial capital raising to the launch of the Regulation A+ offering to access the capital markets. The key is how you structure or amend your original Articles of Incorporation. In this podcast, we answer a question from one of our listeners who asks exactly that.

RegAMoney.com: In a previous podcast, we talked about how to get that seed money needed to help fund the filing of your initial Reg.A+ crowdfunding offering application to the SEC. In this part of the Reg.A Money Show, we answer a question from a listener who asks “What are preferred shares and how do they differ from other stock offering options?” It’s extremely important that investors and issuers alike understand exactly what preferred shares are and how they can benefit both the investor and the company issuing the stock. Preferred shares, common shares, convertible shares, series a, series b, warrants, etc... all these stock designations can be quite confusing, but when you look at preferred shares as creative devices, the picture comes in a lot clearer in its functionality and power, including voting ability, dividend payouts, and underlying value of the stock itself. Companies like Facebook use preferred stock in an interesting way – listen to this podcast episode to learn more.

RegAMoney.com: These days, there’s a certain amount of negativity and naysayers regarding Regulation A+ offerings. Some are pointing to the drop in stock prices of many Reg.A+ issuers and wonder about its sustainability. The Reg.A Money Show podcast however understands the potential of Reg.A+ and continues to be bullish on its future. We maintain that Reg.A+ has leveled the playing field! Our listeners are coming from all over the world listening to the Reg.A Money Show, asking questions and seeking advice (such as the question we answer in this podcast regarding preferred stock). As such, we are looking forward to working with the Crowdfunding Professional Association to continue to move crowdfunding forward in a positive light, just like the Vegas Golden Knights have proved the entire NHL hockey community wrong when everyone said the team would be a disaster in its first year. Instead, just like we predict Reg.A will do, they’re proving all the naysayers wrong! In fact, the Golden Knights are currently in their Conference Finals, just one step away from the Stanley Cup! All Reg.A+ bandwagon fans are welcome when it proves just as successful as the years go by. The Reg.A Symposium will certainly go a long way in fostering that growth. Anyone involved with Reg.A is encouraged to attend.
