FAQ

For Investors

Each investor is advised to consult legal, tax, investment or other professional before investing, and carefully review all the disclosures and documents provided as part of any offering materials. If in doubt, do not invest.

The purpose of this guide is to provide information to potential investors about the risks involved in buying securities in startup and mid-stage private and public companies. Please review the important information below before you begin to register on Pirate Capital and before you make any investment commitment to companies on the PC website.

Summary of Regulation A+ Title IV

Traditionally, investing in startups and other growth-stage companies has been the privilege of the wealthiest Americans. Accredited investors (people making $200,000 or more for two most recent years, or with a net worth of $1 million) were the only ones allowed by the Securities Exchange Commission to invest in startups. Investing is starting to see greater democratization, however.

In 2012, President Obama signed the American JOBS Act into law, which had 10 provisions to improve the working outlook and overall financial opportunities for Americans. Title IV of the JOBS Act, also referred to as Regulation A+, allows companies that want to raise between $3 million and $75 million* to do so from anyone – regardless of assets and income levels.

Making an investment usually doesn’t take longer than 6 -10 minutes.
Then the SEC requires checks are made that all investors must pass

Regulation A+ (or “Reg A+”) is a new way to raise capital created by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Effective March 25, 2015, SEC rules allow companies to test the attractiveness of their company offering to the investor market. This is the RegA+Audition(TM) on Pirate Capital.

Since June 25, 2015, companies have been allowed to apply to make a Regulation A+ offering with the SEC and, when ready, raise capital in our platform and others. We are the first Regulation A+ platform. Pirate Capital and FundAthena, a division of Pirate Capital, will only fundraise for companies that we have reviewed and approved to list their offering on the “Company Offerings” Page.

An Accredited Investor is someone who is:

  • “A natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year;
  •  
  • “A natural person who has an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of investment, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person.”

After the next “closing” of the offering. Every investor whose investments have “cleared” by the time of the closing will be included in a disbursement. A company can conduct a series of “closes” (withdrawals of funds) throughout the duration of the campaign. If a company has a minimum capital amount that they must raise before they can withdraw funds from their escrow account then there may be a wait before their first closing – check their Offering Circular (for a Reg A+) or their PPM (for a Reg D).

To view your investment status follow these steps:
  1. Login to your Pirate Capital account
  2. Click on the ‘Profile’ icon in the top right-hand corner
  3. Select “Investment Dashboard”
Companies on the Pirate Capital platform usually use these payment options: Debit-cards, ACH, Check, and Wire transfer. Non-US investors can pay by credit card. Some companies choose not to use debit/credit cards.
The offerings on Pirate Capital are free for investors, as the companies raising money pay the costs of the investment process in almost all cases.
In a Reg A+ offering non-accredited investors can invest up to 10% of their annual income/net worth per year, whichever is the larger amount, (excluding their home).
Most of the offerings on Pirate Capital are for shares of common or preferred stock. Some companies sell Limited Partnership or LLC Units, and companies can also sell bonds, certain types of loans or convertible notes.

ATS stands for Alternative Trading System.

Regulatory change in recent years has brought the ATS into existence.

An ATS is an after-market exchange where people that own securities can buy and sell.

Because all Reg A+ offerings are Public Offerings, listing Reg A+ securities after the Reg A+ completes on an ATS is a useful way for a company to provide liquidy to its investors.

One big advantage of ATS exchanges is that shorting of stocks is not possible and naked shorting is not possible.

The fees to list are approximately $10k plus the cost of filing with the States for secondary market Blue Sky exemption.

Regulation A+ allows for two kinds of offerings, Tier 1, which spans from zero to $20 mill, and Tier 2 that spans from zero to $75 mill.

Tier 2 allows companies to raise from zero to $75 million per year from individual “Main Street” investors and accredited investors and institutions worldwide. The majority of companies choose Tier 2 because the Tier 1 requirement to get State by State Blue Sky exemption is very slow and very expensive. Companies using Tier 2 do not need to satisfy state Blue Sky requirements to raise capital (with some exceptions). Note that Tier 2 starts from a zero minimum for SEC purposes – I say this because there is a popular misconception that Tier 2 starts at $20 mill. That is not the case! Many companies make successful Tier 2 offerings of less than $20 mill.

Regulation A+ allows any investor, worldwide, to invest in private companies. This is a major change in US securities law, and it means that anyone can invest, if they choose to do so, in a Reg A+ offering, after it has been Qualified by the SEC. Before Reg A+ became effective in 2015, only wealthy, Accredited investors were allowed to invest in private companies.

Reg A+ provides that investors will be liquid upon the completion of the offering they invest in. And up to 30% of the capital raised may be from insider selling (rarely done). But there is a lot more upside to Reg A+ than this;

Step 1.

The investor enters the investment process by clicking on the “Invest Now” button on the offering page.

Step 2.

The investor completes the forms and provides us with all the information that is needed to make an investment. This step doesn’t take longer than 5-10 minutes.

Reg A+ can be used for an IPO to the NYSE or NASDAQ and, starting in June of 2017 a significant number of companies have made their IPOs via Reg A+.

All investors that initiate investments on the Pirate Capital platform are required to pass the AML test before they complete their investment. No investors will be accepted unless they first pass AML.

Until Reg A Plus it was very difficult for regular, “Main Street” investors to invest in startups, or any privately held business. You had to be an accredited investor with $1 million or more in net worth.

The term “Greenshoe” option is the only SEC-sanctioned method for an underwriter to legally stabilize a new issue after the offering price has been determined. The SEC introduced this option to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the IPO fundraising process.This answer continued

Pirate Capital is a platform that enables companies to show and promote their offerings to individual and other investors. We give you open access to information about the companies as well as access to ask them questions so you can make a decision. Then our companies work with service providers like transfer agents and escrow banks and broker-dealers to assist when they exchange invested money into shares (or other securities) of stock (or other securities)

Only Accredited investors are allowed to invest in Reg D offerings, this is a rule made by the SEC.
Anyone! Mainstreet investors worldwide (see the exceptions below) can invest under Regulation A+. Ordinary investors don’t have to be wealthy to invest! Investors are welcome from almost anywhere in the world.

You can find information about companies that are listed on Pirate Capital by examining their offering page, their Offering Circular, and all the content available on their website and the internet too. You can also contact the company directly. And of course, we encourage you to dig deeply using the Internet and all resources available to you.

You must read the Offering Circular for companies that are conducting a Regulation A+ offering to become aware of the details.

Investment Risks

Principal risk: Investing in start-ups will put the entire amount of your investment at risk. There are many situations in which the company may fail completely or you may not be able to sell the stock that you own in the company. In these situations, you may lose the entire amount of your investment. For investments in startups, total loss of capital is a highly likely outcome. Investing in startups involves a high level of risk and you should not invest any funds unless you are able to bear the entire loss of the investment.

This is the list of the companies that completed their Reg A+ IPO and listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ

Arcimoto, Inc. – $19 million (NASDAQ),

A security token is a token that is sold to investors via one of the SEC regulations – Reg D, Reg S, Reg A+ and Reg CF are good examples. A Registered S-1 IPO is another route. This type of ICO is also called a Securities Token Offering or STO.

When you like the look of a company in its informal TestTheWaters(TM) stage, and if you would like to make a non-binding reservation, we call that “Reserve my Investment”. The advantages to an investor are these:

If the company later completes a capital raise, then you will have booked yourself space in that offering at the IssuePrice(TM) (the price per share at which the shares are sold by the company).

With Reg D, it’s technically not correct to say that there is always a one-year lockup on new investors. Reg D securities are restricted, and restricted securities are always subject to limitations on their resale. There are exceptions to the one year lock up.

Regulation A+ doesn’t require any limits on when you sell, though the offering company can do so (not expected often). Through a two-step process, an Issuer (company selling stock) can make their post offering Reg A+ shares tradable on one of the OTC, the NASDAQ or the NYSE markets. These markets -especially the NYSE- provides high liquidity to investors, so you can easily sell your shares, if you choose to.

An important part of Pirate Capital is the open exchange of advice, suggestions and feedback from our investor community to the client offering companies. The more input you give to the companies, the better their offerings will become, and the more fun you will have, from the knowledge that you have helped, and by sharing the journey. By actively involving yourself, you will learn more about the company, the style of its leaders, and their strategy. It is a form of due diligence for you. And you get to help the companies that you interact with.

Pirate Capital’s “Company Offerings” page is an interactive platform that gives companies the opportunity to market their offering and to engage with prospective investors. No investing is done in this stage. Also called TestingTheWaters(TM).

Pirate Capital gives companies the opportunity to “TestTheWaters™” and get feedback from prospective investors to help improve offerings.

Companies can solicit non-binding IndicationsOfInterest(TM) of investment dollars from prospective investors.

This is our program to incentivize entrepreneurs to build startups that have the added clear objective of increasing employment to take charge of our future and cancel out many of the job losses that will be lost to the technology changes coming in our future already.

Refunds

Can I cancel my investment and get a refund?
Yes. You can change your mind anytime up to 48 hours after you invested and you will receive a full refund, including any fees.

How will I receive a refund?
When you cancel your investment a refund will automatically be sent back to the bank account or credit card that was used to make the investment. If you sent a check or a wire, you will receive an email with instructions to send us your wire or bank account info before we can send the refund.

How long will it take to receive my refund?
We initiate refunds as we receive them, but it can take up to 14 days to reach you, especially if you invested with a check or wire.

What are the limits on canceling an investment?
Once the 48 hour window has passed, you no longer can cancel your investment or obtain a refund.

Can the company not accept my investment?
Yes. Companies may choose not to accept your investment for any reason. One reason may be that they discovered you worked for a major competitor.

After the round closes, and the company has countersigned the contract and received the funds, your investment can no longer be canceled.
