Securities acquired in an unregistered offering, as well as securities held by affiliates of the issuer, may (whether acquired in a registered offering or not) only be sold upon registration with the SEC or pursuant to an exemption from these registration requirements. SEC Rule 144 has allowed securities to be resold without registration once they have been held one year, and in certain cases two years, and when other conditions have been satisfied.
