Reg S and Rule 144

Regulation S and Rule 144 are U.S. securities rules that govern the sale of investments. Regulation S allows companies to sell securities outside the U.S. without registering with the SEC, provided the buyers are offshore and the offering isn’t targeted at U.S. residents. Rule 144 permits investors to sell restricted or control securities to the public after certain holding periods and conditions are met, ensuring transparency and limit market impact. Both rules help facilitate international investment and liquidity while maintaining investor protection standards.
