Allotment
Allotment is the allocation of newly issued shares or securities to investors after an application, subscription, or offering.
Rights Issues and Open Offers covers Allotment, Nil Paid Shares, Open Offer, Oversubscription Privilege, and related corporate-finance topics for offering, underwriting, private-placement, rights-issue, and capital-raising analysis.
Rights Issues and Open Offers covers public offerings, IPOs, underwriting, private placements, rights issues, subscriptions, allocation, project finance, and other channels for raising capital.
Use these pages when an issuer raises debt, equity, or hybrid capital and the term affects disclosure, pricing, allocation, investor access, intermediary risk, or dilution. It sits inside Rights, Subscriptions, and Share Allocation, so readers can move up when the broader company-finance context matters.
Use the table below to choose the narrower corporate-finance branch before applying a term to a model, board memo, financing analysis, transaction review, or risk assessment. Move into the term page when the evidence source, calculation, agreement, filing, account, or governance right matters.

Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.
