Washington, D.C., Aug. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Internet TV Network, TV Worldwide has been
selected by OurAICrowd.com as the
Official Live Webcaster for the today's August 14, 2013 2
PM ET expert panel discussion on the recent SEC Ruling
that lifted the advertising ban on private offerings. Through live
and pre-recorded interviews during the free webcast, the panel of
experts will address what this means for private placements and
accredited equity crowd funding and what next steps businesses
should be taking now as the new rules are implemented.
In a 4-1 vote on July 10, 2013 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), an amendment was passed to lift the 80 year ban
on the general solicitation and advertising of Regulation D ("Reg
D") offerings which will go into effect in 60 days. The ruling
eliminates many of the limitations by which equity crowd funding
sites have been restricted. The SEC will move to create a new class
of offering, called a 506(c) offering, which will allow general
solicitation (advertising) to accredited investors. This represents
a huge new opportunity for start-ups and businesses seeking funding
through the crowd funding process. The following distinguished
panel of experts who will address what next steps businesses and
accredited investors should be taking now as the new rules are
implemented:
