Hold-The-Offering-Price Rule Clause Samples

The Hold-The-Offering-Price Rule is a regulatory provision that restricts underwriters and dealers from selling securities below the initial offering price for a specified period after a public offering. In practice, this means that all participating financial institutions must adhere to the set offering price, preventing early discounts or price reductions that could undermine the market. This rule helps maintain price stability and fairness in the initial distribution of securities, ensuring that all investors have equal access to the offering at the same price and protecting the integrity of the capital-raising process.

Hold-The-Offering-Price Rule. The Issue Price Certificate will set forth, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% Test was not satisfied as of the Sale Date and for which the Issuer and the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agree that the restrictions in the next sentence will apply (each such maturity of the Bonds being referred to as a “Held Maturity”), which will allow the Issuer to treat the Initial Offering Price to the Public of each such Held Maturity as the issue price of that Held Maturity (the “Hold-the-Offering-Price Rule”). For any maturity identified as a Held Maturity, the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of such Held Maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the applicable Initial Offering Price of such Held Maturity during the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date; or (ii) the date on which the Tax Law Underwriters have sold at least 10% of such Held Maturity to the Public at a price that is no higher than the Initial Offering Price of such Held Maturity. The Representative will promptly advise the Issuer when the Tax Law Underwriters have sold 10% of each such Held Maturity to the Public at a price that is no higher than the applicable Initial Offering Price of such Held Maturity, if that occurs prior to the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date. On or after the sixth business day after the Sale Date, if requested by the Issuer or Bond Counsel, the Representative also will promptly confirm that the Tax Law Underwriters have complied with the Hold-the-Offering-Price Rule. If at any time the Representative becomes aware of any noncompliance by a Tax Law Underwriter with respect to the Hold-the-Offering Price Rule, the Representative will promptly report such noncompliance to the Issuer; provided, however, that the Representative shall have no affirmative obligation to monitor compliance by any Tax Law Underwriter with the Hold-the-Offering-Price Rule. The Issuer acknowledges that, in making the representation that each Underwriter will comply with the Hold-the-Offering Price Rule with respect to any Held Maturity, the Representative is relying on (A) the agreement of each Underwriter to comply with the Hold-the- Offering-Price Rule, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires,

Hold-The-Offering-Price Rule. The Underwriter confirms that is has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Appendix A, except as otherwise set forth therein. Appendix A also sets forth, as of the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the District and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the District to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering- price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (2) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
