Causes and Features of a Greenstick Fracture. The term greenstick fracture is used because it evokes of a young, green branch that bends, and even splinters, but doesn't fully break. As such, is classified as an incomplete break since only one side of a bone is broken while the other side is merely bent.
Definition of public float: In the overall amount of a company's stock, the amount of shares that are held by public investors and not including the shares that are held by the officers or directors of that company.
U.S. or Canadian companies with a public float of less than $25 million were eligible to be small business issuers. Now, the smaller reporting company will subsume this type of filer, and expand the category to include U.S. and foreign companies with public floats of up to $75 million.
