What is “Shelf Registration” for Securities?
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA CMP™
SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
A relatively new method of registration under the Act of ’33 is known as shelf registration.
Under this rule, an issuer may register any amount of securities that, at the time the registration statement becomes effective, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years of the initial effective date of the registration.
Once registered, the securities may be sold continuously or periodically within 2 years without any waiting period for a registration to clear issuers generally like shelf registration because of the flexibility it gives them to take advantage of changing market conditions.
In addition, the legal, accounting, and printing costs involved in issuance are reduced, since a single registration statement suffices for multiple offerings within the 2 year period. In effect, what the issuer does is register securities that will meet its financing needs for the next 2 years.
It issues what it needs at the current time, and puts the balance on the “shelf” to be taken off the shelf as needed.
