Quiet period

Māori translation:
Definition

In the US, a quiet period is when the company going through an IPO to list on a share market must be quiet about the business. This is mandated by the SEC and often covers the dates between when documents are filed with the SEC and 40 days after the listing date. The aim is to enable the SEC to review and verify the information they’ve been given, and protect investors by ensuring the company doesn’t falsely inflate their value leading up to the listing date.
