Series 63 practice questioneasyExempt Transactions — Isolated Non-Issuer Transactions

During a registration workshop, the instructor adds this setup first. Read it as a Uniform Securities Act issue rather than a federal-law issue. Under the Uniform Securities Act, an isolated non-issuer transaction is:

  1. AA transaction where the issuer sells shares directly to the public
  2. BAn occasional transaction by a person who is not the issuer, an underwriter, or a dealer✓ Correct answer
  3. CA transaction involving a new issue of securities
  4. DA transaction executed on a national securities exchange
Explanation

Why BAn occasional transaction by a person who is not the issuer, an underwriter, or a dealer

Under USA Section 402(b), isolated non-issuer transactions are exempt from registration. These are secondary market transactions that occur infrequently and do not involve the issuer, an underwriter, or a dealer. The key elements are that the transaction is isolated (not part of repeated or successive transactions) and the seller is not the issuer. This version tests the same concept with a different fact pattern wrapper.
