pre-filing period

Read a random definition: Municipal Corporation

A quick definition of pre-filing period:

The pre-filing period is the time before a company officially files paperwork to go public. During this time, the company is not allowed to make any offers to sell their stock, but they can make certain types of announcements and communicate with certain investors. The company will also start working with underwriters, lawyers, and accountants to prepare for the IPO. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rules about what companies can and cannot do during this time, to prevent them from unfairly influencing the market.

A more thorough explanation:

The pre-filing period is the time before a company files for an initial public offering (IPO). During this period, the company is not allowed to make any offers to sell securities, but there are some exceptions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates the company's activities during this period to prevent "gun jumping," which is when a company tries to condition the market for the sale of its securities before filing its registration statement.

  • Rule 163A allows a company to communicate with investors more than 30 days before filing its registration statement, as long as the communication does not refer to the specific securities offering and is made by the company.
  • Rule 135 allows a company to announce that it will issue securities, but it can only state its name, the amount and basic terms of the securities, the anticipated timing of issuance, and a brief statement of the manner and purpose of the offering.
  • Issuers may also engage in testing-the-waters communications with certain institutional investors during the pre-filing period.

These examples illustrate the limited communication that a company can have during the pre-filing period. The company cannot make any offers to sell securities, but it can make certain announcements and communicate with certain investors. These rules are in place to prevent the company from manipulating the market before it files its registration statement.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: whats wrong with fds
the fds reddit was a femcel hell hole analogous to redpill manosphere stuff
It’s incredibly toxic
It’s not quite as bad as manosphere stuff, but it’s close to that. They have a whole system of ranking guys and shit

let’s bring that on here. can I start ranking you guys? bulbasaur is on top cuz he has a wife and none of the rest of you pull like that
they get you in with telling you to value yourself then they start making you feel like all relationships are transactional
and that’s what’s bad for your mental health

eggan and jack are s tier bc of their accent
@babycat: I guess more binary than ranking. It’s like high value man, low value man, and there’s some other stuff
@windyMagician: can you talk about it in therapy? i had a problem with only going after people who treated me poorly and therapy helped me work that out
i could see why FDS would be attractive but i was in to manosphere stuff like 10 years ago and its just soooooo bad for your mental health
will 100% poison all your personal relationships
And that stuff fucks with the way you see the world in general
