Lock-up periods are either required by the underwriters, or imposed by the company that is going public. Investors who want to learn about a company’s lock-up period can find all the information in its S-1 filing with the SEC.
IPOs like Pinterest (PINS - Free Report) , Snap Inc. (SNAP - Free Report) , and Zoom Video (ZM - Free Report) all saw their share price impacted by the lock-up period expiration.
