HTFL has been a leader in advising issuers, underwriters and investors in the use of Regulation A (Reg A), which was implemented as part of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act.  In June 2017, HTFL represented TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, and its online division BANQ® (www.banq.co) in their role as lead managing selling agent and bookrunner in the first Reg A plus IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and since that time the firm has participated in several Reg A IPOs on the Nasdaq and OTC Markets.  HTFL has been instrumental in providing sound counsel to issuers and underwriters as they navigate the securities laws and in their interaction with  the SEC, FINRA, NASDAQ and the NYSE.

On March 20, 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to simplify disclosure requirements under Regulation S-K for companies and investment advisors. These amendments are intended to improve the readability and navigability of SEC documents and to discourage disclosure of immaterial information. The final amendments include approximately 30 changes. The summary below highlights their key aspects.
