Explanation
Why C — Offering price, underwriting discounts, and related pricing information
Rule 430A permits the omission of pricing-related information from the prospectus included in the registration statement at the time of effectiveness. This allows the registration statement to become effective before the final offering price is determined, which typically occurs on the pricing night after the book-building process. The omitted pricing information must be filed with the SEC in a prospectus supplement or final prospectus within specified time periods after pricing.
