FEDERAL COURT AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE ****PENNY STOCK BAR**** ‑ Federal courts may now impose ****penny stock bars, conditionally or unconditionally, or bar a person from participating in a penny stock offering,**** temporarily or permanently. Previously, the SEC would bring a serious microcap or penny stock fraud action in federal district court to obtain injunctive relief, and would have to bring a separate administrative proceeding to obtain a penny stock bar, typically after the district court case was resolved. This section now allows the federal courts to impose the penny stock bar in the initial proceeding brought by the SEC (Section 603).

Explanation:
... capitalización.

Según las definiciones (Investorwords.com - ver link), estas serían mis sugerencias.

blackout period
An interval of up to 60 days during which employees may not adjust the investments contained in their plans. Such blackout periods often occur when the plan is undergoing significant changes.

penny stock
A stock which sells for less than one dollar per share (or in some cases, less than five dollars per share). Most penny stocks have only a few million dollars in net tangible assets and have a short operating history. Penny stocks are almost always small cap stocks, but the reverse isn't necessarily true.
