Series 79: Delaying Amendment

Taken from our FINRA Investment Banking Exam

Definition of the term Delaying Amendment...

an “amendment” filed at the same time as a registration statement. It constantly pushes off the effective date by 20 calendar days. This practice developed as a consequence of the fact that the volume of registration statements no longer allows the SEC to review them all within the Securities Act’s 20-day timeframe. Compare with acceleration.
