Vermont Proposes Long-Awaited 506 Offering Rule

By Jay Fishman, J.D.

The Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Healthcare proposed a long awaited Rule for 506 offerings. Following the 2006 adoption of Vermont's version of the 2002 Model Uniform Securities Act, a notice filing and fee to make a Rule 506 offering could not be required until a Vermont rule mandating the notice filing was adopted. But now a rule is proposed.

The full text of the rule proposal is here.

The fee for the notice filing will be a flat $600.

A public hearing on the rule proposal will be held October 16, 2008 at 10 a.m. at BISCHCA, 89 Main Street, Montpelier, VT in the 3rd floor large conference room. The deadline for public comment is October 30, 2008.
