Fingqa ukuthi yini futhi nini izikhathi zokuthula ezenzeka ngesikhathi se-IPO.
Context:Ngaphansi komthetho waseMelika wezibambiso, kunamafasitela amabili okuvama ukubhekiselwa kuwo ngokuthi "izikhathi zokuthula" phakathi nomlando we-IPO. Eyokuqala kanye nale exhunywe ngenhla yisikhathi esilandela ukufakwa kwe-S-1 yenkampani kodwa ngaphambi kokuba abasebenzi be-SEC bamemezele isitatimende sokubhalisa sisebenza. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, abashicileli, abangaphakathi enkampanini, abahlaziyi, nezinye izinhlangano banqunyelwe ngokomthetho emandleni abo okuxoxa noma ukukhuthaza i-IPO ezayo (i-U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 2005).  Esinye "isikhathi sokuthula" sisho isikhathi sezinsuku zekhalenda eziyishumi ezilandela usuku lokuqala lokuhweba esidlangalaleni kwe-IPO. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, abangaphakathi kanye nanoma yibaphi ababhalisile abathintekayo ku-IPO banqatshelwe ukukhipha noma iziphi izibikezelo zemali engenayo noma imibiko yocwaningo yenkampani. Lapho isikhathi sokuthula sesiphelile, ngokuvamile ababhalisi bazoqala ukucwaninga ngokuvikelwa kwenkampani. Isikhathi sokulinda sezinsuku ezintathu sikhona kunoma yiliphi ilungu eliye lasebenza njengomphathi noma umphathi ohambisanayo ekunikezelweni kwesibili.
Kunezikhathi ezimbili zokuthula ngesikhathi se-IPO lapho abantu abangaphakathi enkampanini bengakwazi ukukhuthaza i-IPO noma ukukhipha ulwazi olungayithinta. Eyokuqala ingemva kokuba kufakwe iFomu S-1 kodwa ngaphambi kokuba i-SEC ivume, futhi enye izinsuku ezingu-10 zekhalenda ngemva kosuku lokuqala lokuhweba kwe-IPO.
