Rule 415

Secondary distribution Unseasoned reporting issuer filing a securities registration Rule 415 was the first "shelf registration" rule. It can only be used by "seasoned issuers" that have already completed their initial public offering. Thus, it is used for secondary offerings by seasoned issuers. It is not used for private placements, since these are not SEC registered. There are certain issuers that are "ineligible" to use either Rule 415 or Rule 405 shelf registrations (such as mutual funds). A "fine point" of Rule 415 is that even though only seasoned issuers can use the rule for shelf registrations of "primary offerings" (where the proceeds go to the issuer); both seasoned and unseasoned issuers can use the shelf registration rule to register resales of securities for selling security holders (a secondary offering where the proceeds go to the selling shareholders).

are canceled Reverse stock splits are rare event, where a company is attempting to raise its stock price in the market (usually to avoid being delisted by the exchange because its market price is too low). Because reverse splits are so rare, the exchanges do not want to pay for the programming costs of supporting these events. Thus, as of the ex date, all orders are canceled and new orders must be entered. Note, in contrast, that the orders below the market are adjusted for cash dividends (since they are the ones that could be impacted by the cash dividend reduction on ex date); and all orders, both below and above the market, are adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends.

A due bill is required for transactions that:

are effected before the ex- date settle after the record date are used to claim payments that are made to the wrong individual. If a person buys a security before ex-date, he qualified for a distribution from the issuer. If the trade settles after record date, he will not be on the issuer's books to receive that distribution. He can claim the distribution with a "due bill."
