§ 1205 Securities Sale Approval

This rule says the commissioner can give a permit to sell securities if they think the sale is fair, and can say no if they think it isn’t.

Key Takeaways

  • •The commissioner decides if a securities sale is fair, just, and equitable.
  • •If it’s fair, the commissioner issues a permit that says how much can be sold and under what conditions.
  • •If it’s not fair, the commissioner must deny the application.

Example

A company wants to sell shares of its stock to the public.

The commissioner looks at the offer. If they decide the price and terms are fair, they hand out a permit so the company can sell the shares. If they think the deal is unfair, they refuse the permit and the company can’t sell the shares.
