Notice of Effectiveness: The notice of effectiveness is a public declaration by the Securities and Exchange Commission that a public company's registration statement has been accepted.
For shares in a public company to trade on the open market they must be registered by the company. These registration statements are reviewed by the Commission for a period of time before approval is given, and this notice marks the successful completion of this review process.
