"The dirty secret is that the SEC was also trying to eliminate the use of reverse-merger transactions to get a company public. In the recent past, the easiest way for a company to become publicly traded was to merge into a defunct public shell, avoiding the usual barriers to going public. The result is that a publicly traded Jiffy Lube chain that went out of business in North Carolina was all of a sudden a mining operation in Southern Arizona without much regulatory oversight. By bringing down compliance costs from a real IPO, the Reg A+ offering will give a company a path to becoming publicly traded without the need to resort to that common shenanigan."
