BIO commends the Equity Capital Formation Task Force

November 17, 2013 |

In Washington, BIO applauded members of the Equity Capital Formation Task Force for their report designed to stimulate investment and growth in small public companies. The Task Force was formed by professionals from across America’s start-up and small-cap company ecosystem in order to examine the challenges that growing issuers face on the market.

“From the On-Ramp to the Freeway,” issued today by the Task Force, includes proposals to improve the trading environment for small-cap companies on the public market. The Task Force report recommends a pilot program for emerging issuers to choose an increased trading increment for their stock, a change from the current one cent tick size.

It also urges the SEC to effectively implement Title IV of the JOBS Act, which increases the offering limit for direct public offerings under Regulation A from $5 million to $50 million.
