Key Terms

Rule 144, 10% Shareholder, Private Placement

3 terms

Rule 144 regulatory

"See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144."

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.

10% Shareholder regulatory

"10% Shareholder"

Private Placement financial

"05/23/1996 | Private Placement"

A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
