Definition of quiet period

Quiet Period is the period which begins on the date an offering commences, usually once the company and its underwriter reach a preliminary understanding, and generally ends 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement. Referred to as the quiet period because of the SEC's restrictions on publicity about the company and/or its offering.
