The market value of voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates, used in determining filer status and certain offering eligibility.
What traders should verify
For Public Float, verify the applicable measurement date, float or revenue inputs, reporting history, transition rules, filing cover page, and current disclosure obligations.
Do not conflate
Public Float can be date- and threshold-dependent; do not infer current status or disclosure completeness from an older filing or a single input.
