Further Reading

Regulation S applies to offers and sales of securities that occur outside the United States, and it is not available for transactions that are part of a plan to evade the registration provisions of the Act.

The regulation sets forth various conditions that must be satisfied, including the implementation of offering restrictions, the provision of legends on securities, and the certification of beneficial ownership by non-US persons.

Compliance with Regulation S does not obviate the need to comply with other provisions of the federal securities laws, including antifraud provisions and registration requirements under the Exchange Act.
