Jill Radloff and I recently gave a presentation at a CLE session in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the JOBS Act and Other SEC and Dodd-Frank developments.  We covered:

• The repeal of the ban on general solicitations in Rule 506 offerings
• Changes to the definition of accredited investor mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act
• “Bad actor” disqualifications for Rule 506 offerings
• Changes to the Exchange Act registration thresholds
• The ability of the SEC to promulgate a new exemption from registration under so called Regulation A+
• The IPO on-ramp provisions of the JOBS Act for emerging growth companies
• Crowdfunding
• How the conflict mineral provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will affect private companies
• The business conduct standards for swap dealers
• Special board approvals that will be required for public companies to rely on the end user exception for uncleared swaps
