Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shelf registration allows securities to be sold over a period of time rather than immediately. This means that companies can register securities with the SEC and then have the option to sell them periodically over a specific period of time. This allows companies to be more flexible in their fundraising efforts and to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.
