I am adding some clarification and detail on the mechanism of the over-allotment or "greenshoe" option of a public stock offering. Also, after reading the wiki-definition of a stub, it seems as though the additions I have made likely justify this topic to be removed from "stub status", so I am doing that as well.

I am going to add back in the term "secondary" offering that was edited out without an explanation, as that is also a very commonly used term in this field (from 20 years of professional experience in the equity new issue market) Duedilly 03:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi i have edited the last para, in which it was written "Therefore, if the company is able to buy back all of its oversold shares at the offering price in support ....", i think it should be "Therefore, if the underwriter is able to buy back all of its oversold shares at the offering price in support .... nitin8989 16:55,01 Febuary 2007 EST
hi there, do have some problems in comparing german to english wiki in regards to greenshoe. The german wiki states 1963, the english 1930 and the best information I found on the internet is : The name is derived from the first offering containing an overallotment option, underwritten by Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis for the Green Shoe Manufacturing Company in October 1960. Very few offerings are done without an overallotment option Source: http://www.yourdictionary.com/green-shoe --Concept1 (talk) 18:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
