  3. On the form, fill in the fields.

FieldDescription
Short descriptionUnique short description for the trading window.
Fiscal quarterFiscal quarter for which the trading window is open.
Opening dateDate the trading window opens.
Closing dateDate the trading window closes.
Request submission start dateDate from which you can start submitting preclearance requests.
Earnings dateDate of your company’s earnings.
Approval validity daysNumber of days a stock preclearance approval is valid for.
Exclude trading holidays

Option to exclude trading on holidays that fall within the trading window. Selecting this option extends the approval validity days by the number of holidays during the trading period.Note: By default, weekend days are excluded for calculating the validity due date.

For example, say that a trading window opens from January 1 to January 31 and you have set the approval validity days to 10 days. If January 24 and 25 are trading holidays, then,

  • If the preclearance is approved on January 8, the approval validity is until January 22 (10 days from January 8 + 4 days of two weekends).
  • If the preclearance is approved on January 15, the approval validity is until January 31 instead of January 25 (10 days + 4 days of two weekends + 2 holidays from January 15).
  • If the preclearance is approved on January 21, the approval validity is until February 6 (10 days + 2 holidays from January 20 + 4 days of two weekends). However, as the trading window closes earlier than the validity of approval, the last date is January 31 rather than February 6.
