A lock-in period is a fixed time during which founders, company employees, or local shareholders cannot sell their shares. This rule protects investors and ensures market stability.
As per the Securities Registration and Issuance Regulations 2073, Rule 38, shares allocated through public offerings cannot be sold by insiders until the lock-in period ends, usually 3 years. After this, shares can be sold like ordinary shares.
Why Lock-In and Unlock Matter
Market Impact: When a stock unlocks, the supply of shares increases, which can affect the price.
Investor Planning: Knowing which shares are unlocking helps investors buy or sell wisely.
Confidence: Lock-in periods show that founders and insiders are committed to the company.
