§ 25141 Commissioner Escrow Security Conditions
The commissioner can set special rules—like putting money in a safe place or limiting who can sell the securities—to make a securities offering fair, and can later take those rules away if they’re no longer needed.
A startup wants to sell special promotional shares to investors. The commissioner decides the sale might be risky, so they require the startup to keep the investors’ money in an escrow account until the shares are officially issued.
Because of the commissioner’s rule, the startup can’t use the investors’ cash right away; it stays locked up until the shares are delivered, protecting the investors from a bad deal.
