What Is an IPO Quiet Period?

Quiet Period

A quiet period, also known as as the ‘pre-filing period,’ is the period that begins on the date an offering commences (often the date that Company retains an investment bank) and ends upon the public filing of the registration statement. It is referred to as the quiet period because of the SEC’s restrictions on publicity about the company and/or promoting its offering.
