The additional shares are used to cover certificates borrowed when the manager shorted stock to purchasers. The option is exercisable within thirty days after the effective date of the offering. The additional shares are registered with an amendment to the original registration statement. Profits earned by the manager on covering the short position are distributed to syndicate members pro-rata. So-called because the Green Shoe Company first used this arrangement.
