IPO Lock-up

    0.06 sec.
IPO Lock-up
A legally binding contract between the underwriters and insiders of the company undergoing an initial public offering (IPO). The contract prevents them from selling any shares of stock for a specified period of time.

Notes:
When lock-ups expire, restricted people are permitted to sell their stock. This sometimes results in a drastic drop in share price.
