Issue Over Allotment Terms

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Issue Over Allotment Terms. Terms for Change to an Issue Amount. A provision in an underwriting agreement, which allows members of the underwriting syndicate to purchase additional shares at the original price.

Also known as a green shoe. Note that this set of terms does not refer to over-allotment as change to a the total issue amount issued to an individual investor. That would require separate but similar terms. FIBIM has "Over Allotment Amount" as an individual term.
