The period after a company files its S-1 registration statement with the SEC during which management is not allowed to make any statements that are not included in the offering prospectus.

When a company is "in registration"-after a registration statement has been filed but before the SEC has declared it effective-any communication it makes can be deemed part of the prospectus. Before the effective date, companies and their underwriters are extremely careful in their statements about the company and the offering, sticking closely to the facts provided in the preliminary prospectus. During this period the company risks that any public announcement of good news, or any delay of bad news, may be seen as a manipulative tactic. Because legal counsel often discourages companies from appearing at analysts' conferences or issuing glowing press releases during this period, it is considered a quiet period. The term also can refer to the ninety-day period after an initial public offering, during which underwriters are prohibited from issuing research information about the company to reduce their opportunity to influence the aftermarket for their benefit. See "Registration."
