Within 15 days after the first sale of securities.

  1. Within 15 days after the first sale ✔
  2. Before forming the company
  3. Only after the offering closes

Why: Form D is the SEC notice for a Regulation D exempt offering. The filing deadline is measured from the first sale, not the final closing.

Huh, didn't know that: After filing, a company's Form D is publicly available on EDGAR, and the SEC charges no filing fee.

The dad joke
Form D arrived early because it did not want a late notice.
