Regulatory

Lock-in Period

A 'No-Sale' 🔒 time during which certain shareholders (like company staff or promoters) cannot sell their shares.

When an IPO is issued, staff shares are often locked for 3 years. This ensures that the people running the company stay committed and don't dump their shares immediately. It's a 'loyalty handcuff' – you built it, now you can't sell it for a while!

Nepali Definition

लक-इन पिरियड (Lock-in)

निश्चित समयसम्म शेयर बेच्न नपाइने अवधि 🔒। प्रायः संस्थापक वा कर्मचारीको शेयरमा यस्तो हुन्छ।

कम्पनीका कर्मचारी वा संस्थापकले आईपीओ आएको केही वर्षसम्म शेयर बेच्न पाउँदैनन्। यसले कम्पनीप्रति उनीहरूको जिम्मेवारी कायम राख्न मद्दत गर्छ। यो 'वफादारी हतकडी' हो – तपाईंले बनाउनुभयो, अब केही समय बेच्न पाउनुहुन्न!
