Do I need to use a broker for a Rule 144K transaction?

Frequently Asked Questions
You do not need a broker if you want to continue holding the clean certificate in your own name. You will need a broker, if you want to put the stock in your brokerage account ("street name"), but you can get a clean certificate yourself and deliver it to your broker.

How long must I own the stock before I can use Rule 144K?

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use Rule 144K, if you are not an affiliate of the issuing company, after you have owned the stock for at least 24 months, including time owned by your non-affiliated predecessor owners. The stock becomes "restricted" stock, even if it wasn't restricted in the hands of the affiliate. And, the twelve month minimum "holding period" starts all over again for you at the time of the purchase from the affiliate, just like it would if the purchase was directly from the issuing company.

What is the reason I need to comply with Rule 144 or Rule 144K?

Frequently Asked Questions
Compliance with Rule 144 and Rule 144K protects you from being treated like an "underwriter". If you are treated like an "underwriter", your stock would need to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 when you sell it into the public securities market. If you are treated like an "underwriter" and sell stock without registration, you violate civil and criminal provisions of the Securities Act of 1933.

When does Rule 144K apply?

Frequently Asked Questions
Rule 144K applies when restricted stock has been owned by a non-controlling person ("non-affiliate") of an issuing company for at least 24 months, whether or not it is to be sold into the public securities market. In general, these sales involve a brokerage firm and are not face-to-face sales negotiated between a seller and a buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your holding period may include ("tack") time the stock was owned by a predecessor, non-controlling person. From the 13th through the 24th month, you can use Rule 144 to sell the stock into the public securities market.
