What is DRS?

Since the JOBS Act of 2012, emerging growth companies can submit a draft registration statement to the SEC for confidential review before going public, and since 2017 the option is open to all companies for IPOs and offerings within a year of the IPO.

Drafts become public on EDGAR, together with the related correspondence (DRSLTR), when the company files its registration statement publicly. They show how the IPO prospectus evolved during the SEC's review.

Who files

Companies planning an IPO or initial registration, and recently public companies for follow-on offerings within 12 months.

When it is filed

Submitted confidentially, then made public with the public filing at least 15 days before a road show (for emerging growth companies) or before effectiveness.

FAQ

Can I see a DRS before the IPO is announced?

No. Drafts are confidential and only appear on EDGAR after the company files its registration statement publicly.
