Short Statement: The proposed amendments are intended to facilitate capital formation in the public securities markets consistent with investor protection. The proposed amendments would, among other things, expand the number of issuers eligible to conduct shelf offerings on Form S-3, extend certain benefits currently reserved for WKSIs, modernize Form S-1 by expanding the ability to incorporate information by reference, preempt State securities law registration and qualification requirements for all registered offerings, and modernize certain forms and rules.
