Question

A customer buys shares of a stock that had its initial public offering 5 years ago. Which statement is TRUE regarding prospectus delivery

Answer 1

Answer:

A prospectus is not required because the initial public offering happened 5 years ago

Explanation:

A prospectus is a legal document which is to be filled by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that reflects the details with respect to the investment offering to the public in terms of stocks, bond, mutual funds, etc

On the other hand the initial public offering is the offering done by the company for the first time to the public related to the investment

Since in the question it is mentioned that the customer purchased the shares of stock but its initial public offering is done 5 years ago so no prospectus is required
