A:

A blackout period is a period of at least three consecutive business days, but not more than 60 days during which the majority of employees at a particular company are not allowed to make alterations to their retirement or investment plans. A blackout period usually occurs when major changes are being made to a plan.

 

For example, the process of replacing a pension plan's fund manager may require a blackout period to allow for necessary restructuring to take place.
