<<Would you please let me know where you found this passage. I need the same info on some other stocks.>> Sure. This info is given in the final prospectus and in the registration statements. Take INKT, for example. The following link takes you to their 424B4 (final prospectus). sec.gov Once you're there use your browser to search for the expression 'shares e' which will take you to the section "SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE". It's usually in there. Another way to go about matters is to search for the string 'lock', or even '180' (sometimes '181' or '90') which will land you at the right spot. If you need to learn about the various filings, use this URL: sec.gov You can get this info various places, but this is the govt.'s and is the most detailed. There's lots of great info there, but a little advanced. Anyway, the other forms to look at for lock-up info are usually the S-1's, and sometimes there's info in the 10K. Now, if you want to learn in depth about these matters and what goes where and how, then you'll want to go to check out securites law and the forms themselves, which you can do at The Securities Lawyer's Deskbook : law.uc.edu Awesome site. You'll spend days there. Note: getting to the sources is one thing, reading them carefully and understanding them is another (and that's where I screwed up). Hope that helps. Anaxagoras
