119th Congress
H.R. 4430

Lowers stock value needed for faster public offerings

Companies would need a lower total value of common stock to count as well-known seasoned issuers, a status that lets them sell shares to the public on a faster timeline.

  • Cuts the total market value of common stock a company must have to qualify as a well-known seasoned issuer
  • That status lets a company sell securities to the public through automatic shelf registrations
  • Such offerings are allowed to move faster than usual
  • The bill does not say what the new value threshold would be
