📃 Sub-underwriting agreement

A sub-underwriting agreement is a contract between a primary underwriter and a sub-underwriter that sets forth the terms and conditions under which the sub-underwriter agrees to take on some or all of the risk associated with an offering of securities. The agreement will typically specify the maximum amount of risk that the sub-underwriter is willing to assume, as well as the compensation that the sub-underwriter will receive for assuming that risk.
