Rule 144A

Read a random definition: last-injurious-exposure rule

A quick definition of Rule 144A:

Rule 144A is a rule made by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows people who buy securities in a private sale to sell them to big investors called qualified institutional buyers (QIBs). This is different from normal private sales where you can't sell the securities you buy. To use Rule 144A, the seller has to make sure the buyer knows they are using this rule, the securities can't be the same as ones traded on a stock exchange, and the buyer can ask for information from the original seller. This rule makes private sales more attractive because it makes it easier for big investors to buy and sell these securities.

A more thorough explanation:

Rule 144A is a regulation created by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows purchasers of securities in a private placement to resell their securities to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) under certain conditions.

For example, if a company issues securities in a private placement to a group of institutional investors, those investors can then resell those securities to other qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A. This increases the liquidity of the securities and makes private placements more attractive to issuers.

To qualify for resale under Rule 144A, the securities must not be of the same class as securities traded on a national securities exchange, and the purchaser must have the right to request information from the original issuer of the security. The seller must also take affirmative steps to ensure that the buyer is aware that the seller relies on Rule 144A to sell their security.

Overall, Rule 144A makes it easier for institutional investors to buy and sell securities in private placements, which can benefit both issuers and investors.
