The rules, in plain English
If Anthropic confirms an IPO before November 1, 2026, the market resolves to Yes. An IPO is confirmed if the SEC declares the company's Form S-1 effective, or the IPO is priced, or a securities exchange has assigned a ticker to it. If any of those events occur, the market will immediately resolve to Yes, even if the company does not start trading until after November 1, 2026.
