If a securities registration statement contains a false statement regarding a material particular, lacks a statement of a material particular that is required to be stated, or lacks a statement of a material fact that is necessary to prevent it from being misleading, the person that submitted the securities registration statement is liable to compensate for damage sustained by a person that acquires the securities through the public offering or secondary distribution; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person that acquires the securities knows that the statement is false or has been omitted at the time the person offers to acquire the securities.
