Rule 502

Rule 502 is part of Regulation D and sets conditions for certain private offerings, including limits on general solicitation (for 506(b)), information requirements for non-accredited investors (where permitted), and rules governing resale restrictions and integration. In practice, Rule 502 compliance shapes how a private raise is marketed and documented, and Rule 502 provisions are often referenced in counsel checklists and closing deliverables.
