During an IPO, underwriters often have a 'Greenshoe' option.

What is the primary purpose of this option?

  1. To guarantee that the company receives a minimum amount of proceeds regardless of market conditions.
  2. To give the company's management the right to buy back shares at the IPO price.
  3. To prevent institutional investors from flipping the stock for a quick profit.
  4. To allow underwriters to stabilize the stock price by purchasing shares if the price falls or selling more if demand is high.
