  • Can Underwriters Profit from IPO Underpricing?
    Footloose with Green Shoes: Can Underwriters Profit from IPO Underpricing? Patrick M. Corrigan† Why are green shoe options used in initial public offerings (IPOs)? And why do underwriters usually short sell an issuer’s stock in connection with its IPO? Are underwriters permitted to profit from these trading po- sitions? Scholars have long argued that underwriters use green shoe options together with short sales to facilitate price stabilizing activities, and that U.S. securities laws prohibit underwriters from using green shoe options to profit from IPO underpricing. This Article finds the conventional wisdom lacking. I find that underwriters may permissibly profit from IPO under- pricing by pairing purchases under a green shoe option with offshore short sales. I also find that underwriters may permissibly profit from IPO over- pricing by short selling the issuer’s stock in the initial distribution. The possession of a green shoe option and the ability to short sell IPOs effectively makes underwriters long a straddle at the IPO price. This posi- tion creates troubling incentivizes for underwriters to underprice or over- price IPOs, but not to price them accurately. This new principal trading theory for green shoe options and under- writer short sales provides novel explanations for systematic IPO mispric- ing, the explosive initial return variability during the internet bubble, and the observation of “laddering” in severely underpriced IPOs. This Article concludes by charting a new path for the regulatory scheme that applies to principal trading by underwriters in connection with securities offerings. Consistent with the purpose of preserving the integrity of securities markets, regulators should address the incentives of under- writers directly by prohibiting underwriters of an offering from enriching themselves through trading in the issuer’s securities.

The new equity capital, which allowed the bank to remain independent, was part of a comprehensive plan to increase equity capital and de-risk Butterfield’s balance sheet. In addition, the new capital provided flexibility to restructure Butterfield’s investment portfolio, provision for non-performing loans, decrease earnings volatility, and maintain capital ratios well in excess of regulatory requirements. About Butterfield and the Transaction Carlyle invested in Butterfield in March 2010 through Carlyle Global Financial Services Partners.
