Regulation D relates to transactions exempted from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) (15 U.S.C.77a et seq., as amended).

Regulation D provides an exemption only for the transactions in which the securities are offered or sold by the issuer, not for the securities themselves.
The provisions of this paragraph (g), do not apply if the issuer elects to rely solely on Regulation D for offers or sales to persons made outside the United States.
