I would prefer to give you an exact definition, which I will have to look up. I believe it falls under the catagory of Reg S. It is a fast way to get restricted stock registered, with which to hit the market if they so desire......Reg S is a long regulation, found on the net now. You should know about S-8, ...So hold your horses, I will look it up later, Pizza time now.
