An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company first sells its shares to the public and becomes a stock-listed company. It matters because it allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors, helping it grow, while giving early shareholders a way to sell some of their ownership.
over-allotment optionfinancial
An over-allotment option is a special agreement that allows underwriters to sell more shares than initially planned if demand is high. Think of it like a retailer offering extra units of a popular product to meet additional customer interest. This option helps ensure the full sale is completed and can also give investors extra shares if they want more.
underwritersfinancial
Underwriters are financial professionals or institutions that help companies raise money by selling new securities, such as stocks or bonds, to investors. They assess the risk and determine the price at which these securities should be sold, acting like a bridge between the company and the investors. Their role helps ensure that the company raises the needed funds while providing investors with options that reflect the level of risk involved.
