Shelf registration is formally known as SEC Rule 415.
Breaking Down Shelf Registration
Shelf registration is a method for publicly traded companies to register new stock offerings without having to issue them immediately. Instead, the securities can be issued at any time within a two-year period, allowing a company to adjust the timing of the sales to take advantage of more favorable market conditions should they arise.
Example -
Company Use of Shelf Registrations
SafeStitch Medical Inc. (formerly TransEnterix), a manufacturer of robotic surgical technology, used shelf registration to prepare new offerings to correspond with launch plans of a new product. When shelf registrations were expanded pursuant to the release of a new product line, the market responded with a 10% increase in share value. Even though the risk of share dilution was present, the market responded to the favorable news regarding the pending technological advancement.
