Underwriter Lock-Up Clause Samples
An Underwriter Lock-Up clause restricts certain shareholders, typically company insiders or major investors, from selling or transferring their shares for a specified period following an initial public offering (IPO). This period, often ranging from 90 to 180 days, is designed to prevent a sudden influx of shares into the market, which could negatively impact the stock price. By temporarily limiting share sales, the clause helps stabilize the market for the newly public company's stock and reassures new investors about the commitment of existing stakeholders.
