Shelf Registration: A company is required to register with the SEC if it is going to issue new shares of stock or sell bonds. A shelf registration allows a company to get permission to do so, but not immediately bring the shares/bonds to market. That way a company can choose the time to actually sell the new securities.

No pardon required -- I'm not sure what the term "shelf registration" actually means. All I know is that there are rules which require disclosure when a publicly traded company seeks to issue a certain amount and type of debt securities. I will try and find out what the specific term means. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I will post before I can find out?
