PIPE: a category of its own
PIPEs are distinct enough in nature and a big enough market that they deserve their own listing, separate from "private placement."
As a student in Finance I am compelled to agree with the former poster - that "PIPE" deserves to have its own slated and distinct listing. There is an entire chapter in my course text dedicated to PIPE's alone.

Towards the end of this article it mentions "we provide our clients" in the section below. I assume Wikipedia doesn't mean its readers, so this should be corrected.
Form D SEC Filing: The Form D is the notification filing that is sent to the SEC in Washington, DC. It notifies the SEC that you are using the Regulation D program and provides them basic information on the company and the offering. It is not an approval document or registration - it is merely a filing that notifies the SEC that you have a Regulation D Offering in place. 3. Marketing: The offering is now ready for marketing to investors. We provide our clients the capability to implement a diversified marketing campaign that involves NASD brokerages, Internet Marketing, and Direct Investor Marketing tactics.
This article is WRONG
There are many gross over-simplifications in this article, even for an encyclopedia intended for a general audience. Worse, there are some clearly incorrect statements. For example: "Private placements can only be sold to certain sophisticated investors. In the U.S. these are called accredited investors ..." Anyone with even a casual understanding of Reg D should know that is not true. Depending on which rule applies, there are dollar limits and/or limits on the number of non-accredited investors, but there is no requirement across the board that every purchaser must be an accredited investor. -- DS1953 talk 19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I completly agree on this point. As per Rule 502 both Accredited and Non-Accredited investors can participate with certain different rules applicable in both these cases - hotmaildhiraj
