What does the Prospectus becoming effective mean?

A registration statement is deemed "effective" once the SEC has completed its review of the prospectus and any disclosure requirements have been satisfied. An effective registration statement legally permits the securities to be sold to the public and to begin trading on the designated exchange. Shares typically begin trading on the specified exchange the day following the registration statement going effective.
