Form DEF-OC Files Dataset

Form DEF-OC filings contain the definitive offering circular filed by small business issuers conducting securities offerings under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933. The submission type was used to transmit the final offering circular, the primary disclosure document delivered to investors in reliance on the Regulation A exemption from registration. The form was rendered obsolete by the 2015 amendments to Regulation A, which replaced the prior regime with the Form 1-A electronic filing framework. The dataset includes all Form DEF-OC filings submitted to EDGAR from October 2004 until the form was discontinued following the 2015 Regulation A amendments. These are auto-generated paper filing records reflecting definitive offering circulars submitted to the Commission in paper form. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains issuer identification information including CIK, company name, and file number assigned under the Regulation A offering, the filing date, and a reference to the paper-filed definitive offering circular describing the terms of the securities offering, the business of the issuer, use of proceeds, and related disclosures required under the former Regulation A rules.
