No short answer but mrvc so called quite period is voluntary, I don't believe the SEC requires this but the company does this on purpose.........I would suspect the quite period for mrvc will end on the 27th....cmg

thestreet.com Pre-filing period: Generally defined as the time beginning when a company chooses its investment bankers -- in a process known as a bakeoff -- and ending when it files for its IPO. This is a touchy time for private companies. They haven't filed to go public and yet they can't admit publicly that they plan to do so. Never mind that anyone close to the company knows exactly what's going on. If bullish comments or financial projections were to appear in the press during this time, the SEC might suggest that the issuer was attempting to "precondition" the market.
