| May 7, 2010 | 424B5 → | EXECUTED | Shelf takedown priced — shares or notes (small-caps: usually shares; open the filing to confirm) |
| May 3, 2010 | 424B3 → | UPDATE | Prospectus update — often a resale registration, not necessarily new capital |
| Mar 24, 2010 | EFFECT → | EFFECTIVE | SEC declared a registration effective — selling can begin |
| Mar 18, 2010 | S-3 → | REGISTERED | S-3 registration — capacity to sell shares, not a sale yet |

Two honest limits. (1) A 424B takedown can price shares or notes — EDGAR’s metadata doesn’t say which, so open the document: large investment-grade filers use these mostly for bond deals (no dilution), small-caps mostly for shares. (2) At-the-market (ATM) programs sell shares gradually and individual sales are not separately filed — the visible footprint is the enabling shelf and its 424B5; actual ATM share counts surface later in the 10-Q/10-K share count. Educational information from public filings, not investment advice.
FSS offering FAQ
When did FSS last execute an offering?
Per SEC filings, FEDERAL SIGNAL CORP /DE/'s most recent priced offering document is a 424B5 filed 2010-05-07. Note a 424B takedown can price shares or notes (debt) — the linked document says which.
When did FSS last announce or register an offering?
The most recent registration is a S-3 filed 2010-03-18. A registration is capacity to sell shares — not a sale.
Does an offering always mean dilution?
Registered direct offerings and shelf takedowns issue new shares and dilute existing holders. Resale registrations (424B3/B7) let existing holders sell and do not create new shares. Secondary sales by insiders also do not dilute. Each row here is labeled with what it is.
