How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- 'Recognized stock exchange' is not specifically defined — could include international exchanges or alternative trading venues
- 'Credible news sources' and 'consensus of credible reporting' are subjective and lack a defined authoritative source list
- Timezone boundary: the market description says 'March 31 2027 ET' but the end date metadata is 2027-04-01T03:59:00Z, which corresponds to March 31 at 11:59 PM ET — these appear consistent but the exact cutoff time for IPO completion is not explicitly stated (e.g., does the IPO need to be priced, begin trading, or settle by this date?)
- What constitutes 'completion' of an IPO is ambiguous — could mean pricing, first day of trading, or settlement
- A restructuring that converts OpenAI to a for-profit entity with public shareholders but without a traditional IPO process may create resolution ambiguity
