SMP offering history
Every offering-related filing in STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC.’s recent SEC record — registrations (announced capacity) kept separate from pricing documents (executed sales). Reviewed 1,000 filings back to Aug 17, 2009.
| Date | Filing | What it means | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 30, 2009 | 424B2 → | EXECUTED | Prospectus supplement priced — shares or notes (large filers: often a bond deal) |
| Oct 27, 2009 | 424B5 → | EXECUTED | Shelf takedown priced — shares or notes (small-caps: usually shares; open the filing to confirm) |
| Oct 7, 2009 | EFFECT → | EFFECTIVE | SEC declared a registration effective — selling can begin |
| Oct 5, 2009 | S-3/A → | REGISTERED | S-3/A 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.
SMP offering FAQ

When did SMP last announce or register an offering?

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.
