Subp. 3.

Incomplete filings.

A notice filing that does not contain all information required by this part and by Minnesota Statutes, section 80A.461, subdivision 3, clause (11), or that does not include a correct fee payment, is incomplete and ineffective.

Subp. 5.

Post effective amendments.

A.

After a MNvest notice filing has become effective, and throughout the effective period of the offering, the MNvest issuer must amend or supplement the information required by subpart 1 as necessary so that the documents provided by the MNvest issuer do not make any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it is made, not misleading.

B.

A copy of the amended documents required by item A as changed, revised, or supplemented and clearly marked to show changes from the previously filed version must be filed with the administrator not more than ten days after the amendment occurs. No additional fee is required for amendment filings made under this subpart.

If amendments are made to the disclosure document required under Minnesota Statutes, section 80A.461, subdivision 3, clause (11), item (ii), the MNvest issuer must direct the portal operator facilitating the MNvest offering to:

(1)

make the amended disclosure document available to all prospective purchasers in the MNvest offering; and

(2)

deliver the amended disclosure document to all purchasers who have already invested in the MNvest offering.
