Poor wording. The content of the filing is confidential, not the act of filing.
I had read confidently and was like I bet you smug bastards.
But don’t the public investors need that info to decide? Like a prospectus?
I don’t know that much about IPOs. I’m just assuming.
First the SEC and other authorities need to vet the offering. By filing confidentiality this initial stage is kept from competitors.
It means that instead of filing publicly 90-120 days ahead, they can hold off public prospectus to 21 days ahead of launch.
Well that's shady as fuck.
Yeah, wanting to keep that private just seems shady and like it should be a major red flag
