"The filing of this form sometimes precedes an initial public offering (IPO) and is generally filed concurrent with common stock or preferred stock offerings."
Foamix files for $292M share offering (link below). You have to wonder what FOMX is planning to do with all that money. Fund a trial with owcp's cream perhaps??....
It can signify a company wants to sell shares to get more money to stay afloat, or to start partnerships with other companies for example. The thing is, fomx has enough cash on hand to operate.
