Series 79 pt 2
If the board of directors of a target company wishes to solicit suggestions on

Form C - correct answer ✔Any changes in the Form C information must be
updated within five business days after reaching 50% of the target raise, and
then again five business days after reaching 100% of the target raise. So, if
any information has changed by November 1, the company must update it
within five business days. Remember that it's the 50% and 100% thresholds
(based on the target raise) that trigger the updating requirement.
Reg S eligability - correct answer ✔The keys to Regulation S eligibility are
residence and where the offer is made, not citizenship. Both must be outside

U.S., so he would have to establish legitimate residency outside the U.S. and
be shown the offer outside the U.S.

underwritten transactions. In this scenario, the underwriters make a
commitment to buy the securities as opposed to using their best efforts to find

frequencies of statements - correct answer ✔Form 10-Q is filed quarterly and
Form 10-K is filed annually. Form 8-K is a form used to report a variety of
material unscheduled current events, and most large companies file many 8-
Ks per year. Proxy statements permit shareholders to vote and are used to
elect board members, so they are used infrequently

answer ✔decrease cost of capital
at the market - correct answer ✔"At the market" means that a clear public
market exists, and that market is not controlled by the broker dealer making
the offer, or a syndicate in which they participate. Under SEC Rule 15c1-8,
