The primary goal is to ensure potential investors understand that no money is being requested and no sales can occur yet. Here are three versions ranging from a formal legal disclosure to a more modern, “scannable” format.
Option 1: Formal Legal Disclosure
Best for footers, offering pages, or formal pitch decks.
Gonen Corp is “testing the waters” to estimate investor interest in a potential offering under Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A, and/or Regulation D.
- No money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent in response, will not be accepted.
- No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the offering statement is filed with (or qualified by) the SEC.
- Any person’s indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
Option 2: Modern & Scannable (Bulletted)
Best for social media posts or email newsletters.
Important Information Regarding Gonen Corp’s Potential Offering:
Gonen Corp is currently “testing the waters” under the Securities Act of 1933. This process helps us gauge interest before committing to a formal offering. Please note:
- No Solicitation: We are not asking for money at this time. If you send funds, they will be returned.
- No Sales: We cannot accept offers to buy securities or receive any purchase price until our offering materials are properly filed/qualified with the SEC.
- No Obligation: Indicating your interest today carries no financial or legal commitment whatsoever.
Option 3: Concise (Short-Form)
Best for image captions or limited-space advertisements.
Gonen Corp is testing the waters for a potential securities offering. No money or consideration is being solicited, and if sent, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received, until the offering statement is qualified by the SEC. Your indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
Key Compliance Reminders
- Hyperlinks: If you are using this on social media, it is best practice to include a link to the full disclosure if the character limit is tight.
- Reg A+ Specifics: If you eventually file an offering circular, you must provide a copy (or a link to it) in any further TTW communications.
- Balance: Ensure your “Testing the Waters” graphics (like the one we created) don’t overshadow these legal disclosures in size or prominence.
