Among its other objectives, the JOBS Act is intended to facilitate the initial public offering (“IPO”) process for small-scale businesses by easing compliance with certain requirements of the federal securities laws, reducing public disclosure requirements and establishing a confidential submission process for the registration statements of “Emerging Growth Companies” (“EGCs”). As defined in the Act, EGCs are companies with less than $1 billion in ‘total annual gross revenue;” and an IPO registration statement effective after December 8, 2011.CGR Memo - SEC Staff Issues Guidance on the JOBS Act.pdf (pdf | 161.97 KB )
