The date displayed reflects the date on which the last trade in this company's security closed on Forge. This may be several weeks after the terms of the trade were agreed upon between the buyer and seller. In case of multiple trades closed on the same date, the price displayed is of either (i) the trade which terms were agreed upon most recently; or (ii) the trade with the higher notional value.
