Stock Investing Basics "NASD's rules that regulate the underwriting process, including lock-up requirements, ensure that the underwriting terms and arrangements are fair and reasonable," said NASD Vice Chairman Mary Schapiro. "Lock-up requirements may be imposed to bring underwriting compensation into compliance with NASD guidelines and to protect investors in IPOs from the potential for dilution and manipulation if underwriters were to sell large amounts of an IPO issuer's shares into the aftermarket. These firms' failure to have policies in place to ensure compliance with the rules and to minimize the opportunity for underwriters and related persons to realize a quick profit from the sale of pre-IPO shares hurt the integrity of the underwriting process and the confidence of investors."Entities affiliated with Morgan Stanley sold shares in two offerings, Breakaway Solutions, Inc. and AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., prior to the expiration of the one-year lock-up period.
