For a mock NASAA exam, assume the administrator is testing this exact point. The exam wants the best state-securities answer, not a practical business answer. An issuer files a registration statement with the SEC and simultaneously files with the state under registration by coordination. Which of the following must be provided to the state Administrator?

Why A — A copy of the latest prospectus filed with the SEC along with any amendments

Under USA Section 303, registration by coordination requires the issuer to provide the state Administrator with copies of the prospectus, articles of incorporation, underwriting agreement, and other documents filed with the SEC. The most critical document is the latest prospectus and any amendments thereto. The governing USA principle is unchanged even though the framing is different.
