There are many fields that can be left blank when filing an S1. They get filled in as time moves on, but need to be complete before the IPO takes place.

What's the point of filing then? It sounds like absolutely critical data.
I guess the people who they want to know will have all the information already. Nowdays S-1 filings can be confidential until three weeks before the IPO, many rules of the market do not make it a even playing ground for retail investors.
thank you.
