Given the base noun 'closing' in its transaction sense, 'preclosing' straightforwardly means occurring before that event.

Etymology

Preclosing comes from the prefix pre- meaning 'before' and closing meaning 'the final meeting or end of a deal'. So preclosing describes something that happens or is arranged just 'before' the deal is finally closed.
