The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted new Rule 155, which liberalizes the ability of issuers to change from a private to a public offering and vice versa. This rule will be particularly useful in volatile markets, by setting the conditions under which an issuer that begins a private offering may convert it to a registered offering before any securities are sold, or to withdraw a registration statement for a public offering before any securities are sold and begin a private offering.
