SEC filings
Form S-3 is the short-form shelf registration statement for eligible Exchange Act reporters: register a primary or secondary offering, then take down securities over time as market conditions allow.
TakePublic builds the S-3 through guided intake, surfaces an eligibility note (including baby shelf under Instruction I.B.6 when public float is under $75,000,000), requires auditor consent before counsel review, and routes every filing through your securities attorney. Live EDGAR submission for S-3 is being verified.
Form S-3 eligibility depends on reporting history and public float.
TakePublic records an eligibility suggestion from those inputs; confirm eligibility with your securities counsel. TakePublic is not a law firm.
| Public float | Shelf basis |
|---|---|
| $75,000,000 or more | Full Form S-3 shelf |
| Under $75,000,000 | Baby shelf (Instruction I.B.6), one-third-of-float cap |
Eligibility also requires timely Exchange Act reporting for the prior twelve months. Confirm with counsel.
Capture the aggregate offering amount and securities description. TakePublic generates the Exhibit 107 fee table under Rule 457(o) at the current SEC fee rate.
The S-3 requires auditor review and the auditor consent, Exhibit 23.1, attached before counsel review.
Your securities attorney signs off on the exact document hash before anything can submit.
Live EDGAR submission for S-3 is not yet on the live-verified list. Export to your EDGAR agent, or use EDGAR TEST mode.
After an effective shelf, takedowns use a 424B5 prospectus supplement in a separate filing.
When public float is under $75,000,000, Instruction I.B.6 limits primary sales in any trailing twelve months to one third of public float. TakePublic surfaces remaining capacity as a suggestion; confirm with counsel.
Form S-3 requires timely Exchange Act reporting for the prior twelve months. A late 10-K or 10-Q can put shelf eligibility at risk. Confirm status with securities counsel.
Live EDGAR submission for S-3 is being verified. After counsel sign-off, export to your own EDGAR agent or use EDGAR TEST mode.
