      Annual Form D Amendment

      Annual Blue-Sky Notice Filing

      If applicable, annual renewal of state Blue-Sky notice filings must be completed for any ongoing private offerings, typically on or before the anniversary of the initial filing. Blue Sky filings are state-level securities notice filings required under state laws to maintain compliance when selling securities to investors in those states. For Regulation D offerings, this generally involves filing a Form D notice and paying applicable fees in states where investors reside. Initial Blue-Sky filings occur when a new subscription is made. Waystone sends a subscription notice monthly to identified clients. Please contact your Waystone compliance consultant or Waystone if you would like services.

Foreign entities classified as “reporting companies” under the CTA must report BOI unless they qualify for an exemption; however, they are not required to report U.S. persons as beneficial owners.
