Official Comments

 
Prior Provisions: 1956 Act Section 402(b); RUSA Section 402.

 
1. Sections 202(1) through (8) are available only for
nonissuer transactions. An issuer selling securities in an
initial public offering or other offering may not rely on
Sections 202(1) through (8). A nonissuer, however, can rely on
any issuer transaction exemption such as Section 202(13), when
the exemption would be applicable to a nonissuer. The term
"nonissuer transaction or nonissuer distribution" is defined in
Section 102(18); the term "issuer" is defined in Section 102(17).

 
2. Section 202(1): Isolated nonissuer transactions: Prior
Provisions: 1956 Act Section 402(b)(1); RUSA Section 402(1). The
term "isolated transaction" is not defined in this Act, but left
to the states to develop. Historically under state law there has
been somewhat varied case law development of the term "isolated
transactions." See, e.g., Blinder, Robinson & Co., Inc. v.
Goettsch, 403 N.W.2d 772 (Iowa 1987) (isolated nonissuer
transaction exemption is not unconstitutionally vague); Allen v.
Schauf, 449 P.2d 1010 (Kan. 1969) (regulation defined isolated
transactions to not exceed four persons solicited in a 12 month
period); Nelson v. State, 355 P.2d 413, 420 (Okla. Ct. Crim. App.
1960) ("[a]n isolated sale means one standing alone, disconnected
