Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Intrastate Offering Compliance skill produces comprehensive compliance memos and execution plans for U.S. intrastate securities offerings under Rule 147 or Rule 147A. It covers every critical element — from safe harbor selection and doing-business test documentation to residency verification protocols, advertising controls, resale restrictions, integration analysis, and blue sky registration roadmaps.

A single out-of-state sale can retroactively destroy an intrastate offering exemption for every investor in the deal. Manually analyzing doing-business tests, designing residency verification protocols, controlling advertising reach, and navigating state-specific blue sky registration requirements is time-intensive and error-prone — with catastrophic consequences for mistakes.

CaseMark automates the entire intrastate offering compliance workflow, from safe harbor selection through blue sky registration planning. The AI systematically evaluates every exemption requirement, flags risks, and produces a detailed execution plan — reducing hours of manual analysis to minutes while dramatically lowering the risk of exemption failure.

Questions

How does CaseMark determine whether Rule 147 or Rule 147A applies?

CaseMark analyzes your issuer's state of formation, principal place of business, and distribution plan to recommend the optimal safe harbor. It compares both rules across key factors like general solicitation permissions and formation requirements, clearly explaining the trade-offs.

Does this handle state-specific blue sky registration requirements?

Yes. CaseMark incorporates state registration by qualification requirements into the execution plan, including filing forms, examiner guidance, and state-specific compliance steps. It flags areas where state rules impose additional obligations beyond the federal safe harbor.

How does the integration analysis work?

CaseMark evaluates your prior and planned offerings within a six-month look-back and look-forward window to assess whether concurrent offerings could be integrated, potentially destroying the intrastate exemption. It applies the factors under Rule 152 and flags risk areas.

Can CaseMark help design our residency verification process?

Absolutely. CaseMark generates a detailed residency verification protocol covering both online and offline workflows, acceptable documentation, record retention requirements, and procedures to handle edge cases — all critical to maintaining the exemption.

What happens if our issuer was formed in a different state than where we're offering?

CaseMark will automatically flag that Rule 147 requires in-state formation and recommend Rule 147A instead, which permits out-of-state formation as long as the issuer maintains its principal place of business in the offering state.

How does CaseMark handle advertising restrictions for intrastate offerings?

CaseMark generates specific advertising controls and required legends based on whether you select Rule 147 or 147A. For Rule 147A, which permits general solicitation, it drafts the necessary disclaimers and geographic limitation notices to maintain compliance.
