Finra Exam SIE Topic 6 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for Finra's SIE exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 6
[All SIE Questions]

Under SEC Regulation A, which of the following market participants, if deemed to be a bad actor, will disqualify the offering from reliance on this registration exemption?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

SEC Regulation A provides a registration exemption for smaller public offerings but includes a 'bad actor' disqualification. If certain key parties, such as the issuer, underwriter, or affiliates, have been involved in securities violations, the exemption is forfeited.

B is correct because underwriters are considered essential participants, and their status as bad actors disqualifies the offering.

A, C, and D are incorrect because custodians, transfer agents, and clearing corporations are not included in the 'bad actor' provisions of Regulation A.

The underwriter is the one who can really mess things up if they're a bad actor. Better keep an eye on those guys!

Underwriter, for sure. Although, I heard the SEC has a sense of humor and might disqualify the offering if the underwriter's name is 'Sir Sketchy McSketcherson'.

Clearly it's the underwriter. I mean, who else would have that much influence on the offering? Except maybe the clearing corporation, but they're just the middlemen, right?
