The SEC today issued additional Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) frequently asked questions (FAQs 18-41). These FAQs address questions relating to emerging growth company status, treatment of comment letters on confidential submissions of draft registration statements and issuer responses to such comment letters, financial accounting standards and restatement of financial statements, foreign private issuers’ compliance with the JOBS Act, and disclosures required in registration statements and periodic reports filed by emerging growth companies. The new FAQs represent helpful additional guidance for emerging growth companies considering whether to take advantage of “IPO on Ramp” provisions of the JOBS Act.
