(1) Transactions by an issuer which do not satisfy all of the conditions of this rule shall not raise any presumption that the exemptions provided by Florida Statutes § 517.061(11), is not available for such transactions. Attempted compliance with this rule does not act as an election; the issuer can also claim the availability of Florida Statutes § 517.061(11), outside this rule.
    (2) The determination as to whether sales of securities are part of a larger offering (i.e., are deemed to be “”integrated””) depends on the particular facts and circumstances. In determining whether sales should be regarded as part of a larger offering and thus should be integrated, the facts described in Fl. Admin. Code R. 69W-500.001, should be considered.
    (3) Although sales made pursuant to Florida Statutes § 517.061(11), and in compliance with this rule, are exempt from the registration provisions of this Act, such exemption does not avoid the anti-fraud provisions of sections 517.301 and 517.311, F.S.
    (4) The provisions of this rule shall apply only to transactions which are consummated with persons in the State of Florida.
