What is the restricted period for a security to be distributed through a merger or an exchange offer? If the valuation period extends after the vote, how does this affect the restricted period?
The restricted period begins on the day of mailing the proxy solicitation materials and continues through the end of the period in which the target shareholders can vote on the merger or exchange. The restricted period includes the valuation period as well. For instance, if the valuation period occurs outside of the proxy solicitation period, an additional restricted period would commence one or five business days prior to the commencement of the valuation period and continue until the valuation period ends.
