Where can I find out more about the Plain English disclosure rules?
Call your friendly printing salesman. They will furnish you with booklets called the “Plain English Disclosure Rules” and “A Plain English Handbook” which contain the SEC s rules and guidelines. You can also get these documents off the Internet, but the booklets from the printers will be easier to use and will contain the proper formatting which does not appear in the Internet versions. Prior to actually doing a prospectus using Plain English, you should absolutely, positively read these two books. This Q&A format only highlights the major issues. The Plain English Rule can be found in SEC Release No. 33-7497.
