Form 1-A POS Filings

What is the Form 1-A POS?

Form 1-A POS is a post-qualification amendment used to revise or update Regulation A offering statements after they’ve already been approved by the SEC. It ensures that investors and regulators have access to the most current and accurate offering details, especially if there are material changes after initial qualification. This filing helps maintain transparency and is required whenever offering terms or disclosures are modified. To compare this with similar pre-qualification updates, check out our Form 1-A/A guide, which is filed with the SEC before qualification to amend an initial Regulation A offering.

What’s Included in Form 1-A POS?

Form 1-A POS allows companies to amend Regulation A offerings without restarting the process. The scope of updates can range from financial adjustments to revised legal risks or business developments.

Key updates typically include:

• Changes in offering price or share structure
• Updated financial statements (often due to aging disclosures)
• Revised use of proceeds or business plans
• Modifications to risk factors or legal proceedings
• New exhibits or amended company descriptions
