20080222023 | Internet-Based System for Auctioning Securities - A method of auctioning exchange traded assets is described. Before commencing the auction bidding, the seller establishes a maximum asset amount representing a greatest amount of the exchange traded assets to be auctioned, and a minimum asset price representing a minimum acceptable bid amount for a given amount of the exchange traded assets. During the bidding, bids are received for the assets, with each bid including a bid price and a corresponding bid amount of assets. After the bidding, a market demand is determined that represents the total of all the bid amounts for the bids. If the market demand is greater than or equal to the maximum asset amount, a clearing price is established that allocates the maximum asset amount of the assets according to the bids at a final price between and including the clearing price and the minimum asset price. Otherwise, if the market demand is less than the maximum asset amount, the market demand amount of the assets according to the bids at a final price equal to the minimum asset price. | 09-11-2008 |
20080306854 | Event Timing Mechanisms for Dutch Auction of Securities - A method for auctioning securities defines an auction start time and an auction end time. The time therebetween is defined by time bucket intervals and transparency intervals. At the auction start time, a real-time auction of securities over a communications network begins. During each time bucket interval bids are received from prospective purchasers, and assigned a time bucket stamp such that bids with the same time stamp are treated as having occurred at the same time. At the end of each transparency interval public bid information related to the auction is updated and made available to the prospective purchasers. After the auction end time, a final auction price for the securities is established based upon the bids made during the auction, and the securities are allocated to the prospective purchasers at the final auction price. | 12-11-2008 |
20080306855 | Allocation Mechanisms for Dutch Auction of Securities - A method is described for auctioning securities by an auction offeror. Bids are received for an offered number of securities. Each bid includes a bid price, a desired number of securities, and a timestamp indicting a time that the bid was received by the system. After a final bid time, a final price for the securities is established based upon the received bids. Then the desired number of securities is allocated to each bid having a bid price more favorable for the auction offeror than the final price. The desired number of securities is also allocated to each bid having a bid price at the final price, in bid timestamp order favoring earlier timestamps, until the offered number of securities has been allocated. | 12-11-2008 |
20100017344 | Auction System and Method for Pricing and Allocation During Capital Formation - A computer implemented system and method determines price and allocation of equity shares. Information about an offering to accept bids for equity shares is provided to qualified potential purchasers and non-qualified potential purchasers. Bids from potential purchasers for equity shares are received through a communication network. Bids are accepted and offered to be accepted only from qualified potential purchasers. A non-qualified potential purchaser submits a bid through a qualified potential purchaser. A clearing price for the offered shares is determined based on the received bids. | 01-21-2010 |
