How long are shelf registrations with the SEC good for?

  1. Two years

  2. Three years

  3. Five years

  4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: Three years

Shelf registrations with the SEC are good for three years. Option A, Two years, is incorrect because this is not the standard duration for shelf registrations. Option C, Five years, is also incorrect because the shelf registration period is typically shorter than this. Option D, Indefinitely, is incorrect because shelf registrations do expire after a certain period of time, in this case, three years.
