PAYPAL CONSIDERS LAUNCHING STOCK-TRADING PLATFORM: REPORT
Robinhood announced Wednesday that a Resale S-1 has been filed on behalf of a group of its shareholders that received Class A common stock upon the automatic conversion of Tranche 1 convertible notes related to the commission-free trading platform’s IPO.
“The SEC staff informed Robinhood on August 13, 2021 that they are reviewing the Resale S-1,” the company said. “Once the SEC staff completes its review, Robinhood intends to file an acceleration request asking the SEC to declare the Resale S-1 effective two business days later. We expect to make a public announcement when we file that request.”
No sales can be made off the Resale S-1 until the SEC completes their review and declares it effective.
