- CR-Equity
This is a uniform nationwide program for multi-state registration of public offerings of corporate equity securities where a registration statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration is by coordination under § 13.1-509 of the Code of Virginia. An issuer files an application with all the states they intend to use the CR-EQUITY process along with the fees applicable to each of those states. A filing is also made to the state of Pennsylvania, the national program administrator, who then designates a lead disclosure state and a lead merit state. The lead disclosure state coordinates all disclosure comments and the lead merit state coordinates all merit comments. The two lead states generate one comment letter on behalf of all jurisdictions. CR-EQUITY utilizes established North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) Statements of Policy for substantive (merit) issues and all participating jurisdictions agree to an immediate review of the application. The program provides a more predictable standard of review for issuers and establishes compulsory time periods for state review and comments. To access the CR-EQUITY application form, standards and filing requirements, visit the Pennsylvania Securities Commission site shown above. - Small Company Offering Registration (SCOR)
SCOR is a program for registration of a public offering by qualification under § 13.1-510 of the Code of Virginia and is administered under 21 VAC 5-30-90 of the Virginia Administrative Code. Virginia has adopted the use of the Form U-7 and the set of instructions for form U-7. SCOR is available to corporations and limited liability companies selling securities which are exempt from federal registration. Small businesses who qualify to use the SCOR program will find it easier and far less expensive than a traditional public offering. To access the Form U-7 Disclosure Document and the Manual of instructions for completing the form, visit the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) site shown above. - CR-SCOR-Mid-Atlantic
This regional review program was established to assist small businesses that want to file a SCOR or SEC Regulation A registration and sell securities in several jurisdictions. Participants include Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and District of Columbia. An issuer files an application with two or more states along with the fees applicable to each of the registering states. In Virginia, the laws, rules and filing fees are the same as any other qualification application. A filing is also made to the state of Maryland who acts as the program administrator. Maryland will designate the lead state for the filing who will be the focal point for comments among the examining states and the issuer. CR-SCOR-Mid-Atlantic simplifies the administrative process for the issuer and imposes an established time-line on the review states.
