Registrable Securities

Registrable Securities are securities that a holder is entitled to have registered for resale under a company’s registration rights agreement, subject to negotiated exclusions (such as shares sold under Rule 144, shares subject to lockups, or shares that can be freely sold). In IPO readiness and follow-on offerings, Registrable Securities definitions determine who can demand or participate in registrations, and Registrable Securities scope can affect overhang and offering size.
