Frequently Asked Questions

A Form S-3 is a registration statement that allows certain established companies (well-known seasoned issuers) to register securities offerings on a simplified basis. It typically requires fewer disclosures than other registration forms because the SEC already has a substantial amount of information about the company through its regular filings.

Filing a new registration statement and suspending the old one is common when a company wants to update the information, change the terms of securities to be offered, or if the previous registration statement is nearing expiration or has become outdated. It may signal preparation for a new equity offering or other financing activities.

Suspending the previous registration statement means that any securities that had not yet been sold under that statement can no longer be offered or sold. The company will rely on the new registration statement for any future sales.

While filing a new registration statement often precedes a capital raise, this filing itself does not confirm an immediate offering. It indicates the company is positioning itself to potentially conduct future offerings of its securities.
