Hygienic Dress League, a Corporation as Conceptual Art, Submits Regulation A Filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission

Hygienic Dress League (HDL), a legally registered corporation as a new and original form of art, today announced they have filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for Regulation A+ exemption to issue securities. Today, HDL filed for a Tier 2 offering that, if approved, would allow for the issuance of up to $75 million of securities in a 12-month period. This would permit members of the public, subject to conditions, to participate in the offering. HDL believes this application is the first of its kind before the SEC.

Founded in 2007 in Detroit by Steve and Dorota Coy, husband and wife visual artists, HDL explores aspects of the human condition and contemporary society while challenging reality, truth, and belief systems through the framework of corporate activities. Thus far, HDL's vision and exhibitions have manifested as TV commercials, public installations, fleeting out-of-home projections, and in augmented reality. HDL's guerilla marketing and urban interventions have been experienced in 19 cities from nine countries across three continents.

"When we founded HDL, we did so to create art that would resonate with people and to address pressing and uncomfortable issues in our society," said Dorota Coy, co-founder of HDL. "If this new offering is approved, it will push the boundaries of art and finance, showing how the two merge and interact with each other. The goal is for people to ponder the nature of corporations, our concepts of value, and other seemingly permanent structures of our world."

The first-of-its kind planned offering for participants will be for 600k non-fungible token (NFT) securities. Concurrently, HDL has begun minting NFTs representing "employees." Each block of shares will come with its own unique NFT employee. After the planned offering, interested parties will be able to purchase certain HDL NFTs separately from NFT shares with the opportunity to sell them on open secondary markets. Shareholders will potentially be entitled to up to 4% of the royalties from the secondary sales of HDL's NFTs. In December 2021, HDL sold its first NFT, "First Contact," for $100k.
