You should consider googling “Things to Consider During Blackout and Quiet Periods”. The article covers a lot but the “quiet period” says…a quiet period is a period of time when corporate insiders need to limit their interaction with the public due to the insider’s knowledge of material information”. It goes on to spell out 2 general categories
1. IPOs and Financing
2. Around quarterly reporting dates or the announcement of material events etc.

Blackouts are associated with preventing employees from trading stock in specified periods when they have insider information.
