securities-offering distribution

Read a random definition: current yield

A quick definition of securities-offering distribution:

A securities-offering distribution is when a company sells stocks or other securities to the public. This can happen in two ways: through a formal agreement with a broker-dealer or informally without a broker. It's like when you sell lemonade to your neighbors, but instead of lemonade, it's parts of a company that people can buy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Securities-offering distribution refers to the process of an issuer publicly offering securities through an underwriting agreement with a broker-dealer or on an informal basis, with or without brokers.

Examples:

  • Controlled-securities-offering distribution: An issuer enters into a formal underwriting agreement with a broker-dealer to sell a certain number of shares of its stock to the public.
  • Uncontrolled-securities-offering distribution: An issuer offers securities to the public without a formal underwriting agreement, such as through a crowdfunding campaign.

These examples illustrate how an issuer can distribute securities to the public through different methods, either with the help of a broker-dealer or on their own. This process allows the issuer to raise capital by selling ownership stakes in the company to investors.

if i was Tex I wouldn’t worry about index numbers. they’re just LSAT and GPA reformulated into an index. you’re above them. end of story

Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
yeah tldr mathy astrology for admissions lmfao
