Registration statements have two principal parts. Part I is the prospectus, that is, the legal offering or “selling” document that must be delivered to everyone who is offered or buys the securities. In the prospectus, your company must clearly describe important information about its business operations, financial condition, results of operations, risk factors, and management. The prospectus must also include audited financial statements. Part II contains additional information and exhibits that the company does not have to deliver to investors but must file with the SEC.
