During an IPO, underwriters often have a 'Greenshoe' option.
What is the primary purpose of this option?
- To guarantee that the company receives a minimum, contractually fixed amount of IPO proceeds regardless of prevailing market conditions.
- To give the company's existing management team the contractual right to buy back its own shares at the original IPO price.
- To legally prevent institutional investors from quickly flipping or reselling their shares soon after the IPO for a fast profit.
- To allow underwriters to stabilize the stock price by purchasing shares if the price falls or selling more if demand is high.
