SEC Makes Inflation Adjustments

The SEC has issued a final rule to make certain inflation adjustments in response to a mandate of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which requires the Commission to make such adjustments at least once every five years. Specifically, the purpose of the final rule is to “adjust the thresholds in the definition of ‘emerging growth company’ as well as dollar amounts in Regulation Crowdfunding.”

The final rule will become effective 30 days after the date of its publication in the Federal Register. For more information, see the press release and fact sheet on the SEC’s Web site.
