Subject: A Call to the SEC to Require Valuation Disclosure
Dear Chairman White,
As you consider how to lead the agency’s implementation of the JOBS Act, I ask that you consider a requirement that any issuer of equity securities (via a Reg. D, Reg. A, S1, etc.);
I believe it would significantly expand the number of valuation-aware investors, and, encourage issuers to compete for investors by offering better terms. In short, it would encourage market forces to enhance investor protections and responsibly expand small company access to capital.
The attached article lays out my case for a valuation disclosure requirement. It is also available online here https://vcexperts.com/buzz_articles/1354?utm_source=The+VC+Expert%27s+Buzz&utm_campaign=5d111d9998-buzz_04_25_2013
Thank you for considering it, and, best wishes to you as you tackle your new responsibilities.
