Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Intrastate Offering Compliance skill generates detailed compliance memos and execution plans for U.S. intrastate securities offerings under Rule 147 or Rule 147A. The AI analyzes safe harbor selection, doing-business tests, residency verification, advertising controls, resale restrictions, integration risks, and blue sky registration requirements — delivering in minutes what traditionally takes hours of manual research and drafting.

Intrastate offerings are deceptively complex: a single out-of-state sale can retroactively destroy the exemption for every investor, and unlike Rule 506 offerings, there is no federal preemption of state registration requirements. Attorneys must manually navigate doing-business tests, residency verification protocols, advertising restrictions, integration doctrine, and full state registration by qualification — a labor-intensive process where overlooking one element can expose the issuer to catastrophic liability.

CaseMark automates the analysis and drafting of intrastate offering compliance memos, systematically evaluating safe harbor eligibility, doing-business test satisfaction, residency verification workflows, advertising controls, and integration risks. The result is a comprehensive execution plan and compliance framework that would take hours to produce manually, delivered in minutes and ready for attorney review and finalization.

Questions

How does CaseMark determine whether Rule 147 or Rule 147A is the right safe harbor?

CaseMark analyzes your issuer's state of formation, principal place of business, distribution plan, and solicitation strategy to recommend the optimal safe harbor. The analysis highlights the key trade-offs, such as whether out-of-state formation or general solicitation needs push you toward Rule 147A.

Does the tool address state-specific blue sky registration requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates a state registration roadmap tailored to your offering state, including registration by qualification filing requirements, examiner guidance considerations, and typical timelines. You should verify current state-specific forms and fees with your state securities regulator.

How does CaseMark handle integration analysis with other offerings?

CaseMark evaluates your prior and planned offerings within a six-month look-back and look-forward window, analyzing whether concurrent or recent offerings could be integrated and potentially destroy the intrastate exemption. The analysis applies the SEC's integration framework under Rule 152.

Can CaseMark help design a residency verification process?

Absolutely. CaseMark produces a detailed residency verification protocol covering both online and offline workflows, acceptable documentation, record retention requirements, and procedures to reject out-of-state purchasers — a critical safeguard since a single out-of-state sale can destroy the exemption.

What if we plan to use internet advertising for our intrastate offering?

CaseMark's analysis addresses internet solicitation controls, including required legends, geographic access restrictions, and the distinction between Rule 147 (which restricts general solicitation) and Rule 147A (which permits it with proper legends). The output includes specific advertising language recommendations.

Is the output a final legal opinion or a working draft?

CaseMark produces a comprehensive working draft — a compliance memo and execution plan designed to accelerate attorney review. It is not a substitute for legal counsel and should be reviewed and finalized by a qualified securities attorney before reliance.
