A. Rules as to Use of Form 1-U. 

(1) This Form shall be used for current reports pursuant to Rule 257(b)(4) of Regulation A (§§ 230.251-

230.263). 

(2) A report on this Form is required to be filed, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the 

events specified in Items 1 – 9 of this Form. Unless otherwise specified, a report is to be filed within four business days after occurrence of the event. If the event occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday on which the 

Commission is not open for business, then the four business day period shall begin to run on, and include, the 

first business day thereafter. 

(3) If the issuer previously has provided substantially the same information as required by this Form in a report 

required by Rule 257(b) of Regulation A, the issuer need not make an additional report of the information on 

this Form. To the extent that an item calls for disclosure of developments concerning a previously reported 

event or transaction, any information required in the new report or amendment about the previously reported 

event or transaction may be provided by incorporation by reference to the previously filed report, if a hyperlink 

to such report as filed with the Commission is included.

(4) Copies of agreements, amendments or other documents or instruments are not required to be filed as exhibits 

to the Form 1-U unless specifically required by the applicable item. This instruction does not affect the requirePersons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not 

required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number. SEC2915 (6-15) 1 of 8 
ment to otherwise file such agreements, amendments or other documents or instruments, including as exhibits to 

offering statements and periodic reports pursuant to the requirements of Regulation A.

B. Preparation of Report. 

(1) Regulation A contains certain general requirements which are applicable to reports on any form, including 

amendments to reports. These general requirements should be carefully read and observed in the preparation 

and filing of reports on this Form.

(2) This Form is not to be used as a blank form to be filled in, but only as a guide in the preparation of the report. Nevertheless, the report shall contain the number and caption of each applicable item, but the text of such 

item may be omitted. All items that are not required to be answered in a particular report may be omitted and 

no reference thereto need be made in the report. All instructions should also be omitted.

(3) In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this Form, there shall be added such 

further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

C. Signature and Filing of Report. 

(1) The report must be filed with the Commission in electronic format by means of the Commission’s Electronic 

Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) in accordance with the EDGAR rules set forth in 

Regulation S-T (17 CFR Part 232).

(2) The report must be signed by an officer duly authorized to sign on behalf of the issuer. The report must be 

signed using a typed signature. The signatory to the filing must also manually sign a signature page or other 

document authenticating, acknowledging or otherwise adopting his or her signature that appears in the filing. 

Such document must be executed before or at the time the filing is made and must be retained by the issuer for 

a period of five years. Upon request, the issuer must furnish to the Commission or its staff a copy of any or all 

documents retained pursuant to this paragraph.

D. Incorporation by Reference and Cross-Referencing. 

(1) An issuer may incorporate by reference to other documents previously submitted or filed on EDGAR. 

Cross-referencing within the report is also encouraged to avoid repetition of information. For example, you 

may respond to an item of this Form by providing a cross-reference to the location of the information in another 

item, instead of repeating such information. Descriptions of where the information incorporated by reference 

or cross-referenced can be found must be specific and must clearly identify the relevant document and portion 

thereof where such information can be found. For exhibits incorporated by reference, this description must 

be noted in the exhibits index for each relevant exhibit. All such descriptions of where information incorporated by reference can be found must be accompanied by a separate hyperlink to the incorporated document on 

EDGAR. A hyperlink need not remain active after the filing of the report, except that amendments to the report 

must update any hyperlinks referred to in the amendment that are inactive.

(2) Reference may not be made to any document if the portion of such document containing the pertinent information includes an incorporation by reference to another document. Incorporation by reference to documents 

not available on EDGAR is not permitted. Information shall not be incorporated by reference or cross-referenced in any case where such incorporation would render the statement or report incomplete, unclear, or confus2 of 8 
 

ing. Incorporating information into any financial statements from elsewhere is not permitted. 

(3) If any substantive modification has occurred in the text of any document incorporated by reference since 

such document was filed, the issuer must file with the reference a statement containing the text and date of such 

modification.

Item 4. Changes in Issuer’s Certifying Accountant 

(a) If an independent accountant who was previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the issuer’s 

financial statements, or an independent accountant upon whom the principal accountant expressed reliance in its

304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.304(a)(1)), including compliance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation 

S-K (17 CFR 229.304(a)(3)) if the issuer were a “registrant.”

(b) If a new independent accountant has been engaged as either the principal accountant to audit the issuer’s 

financial statements or as an independent accountant on whom the principal accountant is expected to express 

reliance in its report regarding a significant subsidiary, the issuer must disclose the information that would be 

required by Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.304(a)(2)) if the issuer were a “registrant.”

Instructions to Item 4:

1-A or report on Form 1-K, whichever is most recent, contains audited financial statements. 

2. The resignation or dismissal of an independent accountant, or its refusal to stand for re-appointment, is a 

reportable event separate from the engagement of a new independent accountant. On some occasions, two 

reports on Form 1-U are required for a single change in accountants, the first on the resignation (or refusal to

statements under Regulation A, including Form 1-A, should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such 

financial statements as addressed in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250 or IAS 8, as may be 

modified, supplemented or succeeded, disclose the following information:

(1) the date of the conclusion regarding the non-reliance and an identification of the financial statements

in the filing pursuant to this paragraph (a).
