Integration of offerings.

(1) If the safe harbors in subsection (2) do not apply in determining whether two or more offerings are to be treated as one for the purpose of registration or qualifying for an exemption from registration under this chapter, offers and sales may not be integrated if, based on the particular facts and circumstances, the issuer can establish either that each offering complies with the registration requirements of this chapter, or that an exemption from registration is available for the particular offering, provided that any transaction or series of transactions that, although in technical compliance with this chapter, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of this chapter will not have the effect of avoiding integration. In making this determination:

(a) For an exempt offering prohibiting general solicitation, the issuer must have a reasonable belief, based on the facts and circumstances, with respect to each purchaser in the exempt offering prohibiting general solicitation, that the issuer or any person acting on the issuer’s behalf:

1. Did not solicit such purchaser through the use of general solicitation; or

2. Established a substantive relationship with such purchaser before the commencement of the exempt offering prohibiting general solicitation, provided that a purchaser previously solicited through the use of general solicitation is not deemed to have been solicited through the use of general solicitation in the current offering if, during the 45 calendar days following such previous general solicitation:

a. No offer or sale of the same or similar class of securities has been made by or on behalf of the issuer, including to such purchaser; and

b. The issuer or any person acting on the issuer’s behalf has not solicited such purchaser through the use of general solicitation for any other security.

(b) For two or more concurrent exempt offerings permitting general solicitation, in addition to satisfying the requirements of the particular exemption relied on, general solicitation offering materials for one offering that includes information about the material terms of a concurrent offering under another exemption may constitute an offer of securities in such other offering, and therefore the offer must comply with all the requirements for, and restrictions on, offers under the exemption being relied on for such other offering, including any legend requirements and communications restrictions.

(2) The integration analysis required by subsection (1) is not required if any of the following nonexclusive safe harbors apply:

(a) An offering commenced more than 30 calendar days before the commencement of any other offering, or more than 30 calendar days after the termination or completion of any other offering, may not be integrated with such other offering, provided that for an exempt offering for which general solicitation is not permitted which follows by 30 calendar days or more an offering that allows general solicitation, paragraph (1)(a) applies.

(b) Offers and sales made in compliance with any of the following provisions are not subject to integration with other offerings:

1. Section 517.051 or s. 517.061, except s. 517.061(10) or (11).

2. Section 517.0611 or s. 517.0612.
