Series 79 practice questioneasySEC Registration Statements
Which form must a non-reporting domestic issuer file for its initial public offering?
- AForm S-3
- BForm S-1✓ Correct answer
- CForm F-3
- DForm 10-K
Explanation
Why B — Form S-1
Form S-1 is the standard registration statement for U.S. companies that are not yet SEC reporting issuers. S-3 and F-3 are for seasoned/foreign issuers, and Form 10-K is an annual report, not a registration statement. The trap is confusing form types for initial offerings.
