JOBS Act Related Technical Amendments

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted technical amendments to conform several rules and forms to amendments made to the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") by Title I of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act.  For example, under the definition of the term "emerging growth company" the JOBS Act required inflation indexing the annual grows revenue amount.  As well, the final rules address various provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as well as Exchange Act periodic and current reports, Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X that did not currently reflect JOBS Act provisions. Sections 4(a)(6) and 4A of the Securities Act set forth dollar amounts used in connection with the crowdfunding exemption, and Section 4A(h)(1) states that such dollar amounts shall be adjusted by the SEC not less frequently than once every five years to reflect CPI changes.
