I feel like the correct answer is that they are returned to the issuing corporation, but I need to double-check my notes.

I’m a bit confused; I thought unsold shares might be owned by the syndicate, but that doesn’t sound right now.

I'm leaning towards C - the unsold shares get transferred to treasury stock. That makes sense to me since the underwriter is taking on the risk of the offering, so they wouldn't want to be stuck holding the leftover shares. Transferring them to treasury seems like the cleanest solution.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. In a firm commitment offering, the underwriter agrees to purchase all the shares from the issuer, regardless of whether they can sell them all to investors. So the unsold shares would have to go somewhere - they can't just disappear. I think the most logical answer is that they get transferred back to the issuing corporation.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know firm commitment offerings are different from best efforts offerings, but I can't quite remember the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is A - the unsold shares are returned to the issuing corporation. That's the standard procedure in a firm commitment offering.

If the shares don't sell, maybe the company can just give them away as party favors at the next corporate retreat. That's a great use of treasury stock, right?

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe B? Listing the unsold shares in the over-the-counter market could be an option. Though I'm probably just guessing here.

D sounds good to me. The members of the syndicate should own the shares that didn't sell. They're the ones who took on the risk, after all.
