| 单词 | Underwriting |
| 释义 | 包銷 1. In the context of the issue of shares, an agreement to take the number of shares which are not subscribed for by the public or other persons by a particular date: Re London-Paris Financial Mining Corp Ltd (1897) 13 TLR 569 (CA). An underwriting letter will usually be executed on the basis of a draft offer document (usually the prospectus). In general, the underwriting letter is not a contract but an offer: Re Consort Deep Level Gold Mines Ltd, ex p Stark [1897] 1 Ch 575 (CA). 2. In the context of insurance, underwriting may be effected by taking a line of a broker’s slip, containing rough notes sufficient to indicate the terms of the proposed insurance, which amounts to an offer to accept a proportion of the risk to be insured. The presentation of the slip by the broker constitutes an offer, and the writing of each line constitutes an acceptance of this offer by the underwriter pro tanto. If an underwriter varies the terms of the slip with the consent of the broker before writing his line, this would constitute a counter-offer which is accepted by the broker on behalf of his client: General Reinsurance Corp & Ors v Forsakringsaktiebolaget Fennia Patria [1983] QB 856 (CA). See also Broker’s slip; Initial public offering; Prospectus; Underwriting commission. 1.就股票發行而言，就承購未獲公眾人士或其他人士在特定日期前認購的股票數目所訂立的協議：Re London-Paris Financial Mining Corp Ltd (1897) 13 TLR 569（芵國上訴法院）。通常基於某要約文件的擬本（一般為招股章程）而簽立包銷書。概括而言，包銷書是要約而非合約：Re Consort Deep Level Gold Mines Ltd, ex p Stark [1897] 1 Ch 575（芵國上訴法院）。 承保 2.就保險而言，可藉承擔經紀人承保條的保險額而使承保生效，該承保條載有足以顯示擬採用的保險條款的粗略摘記，相當於接納投保風險的份額的要約。該經紀人呈示承保條即構成要約，而簽署承擔每一項承保額即構成承保人以要約為限的承約。如承保人在經紀人的同意之下，在簽署承擔承保額前改變承保條的條款，則會構成由該經紀人代表其客戶承約的反要約：General Reinsurance Corp & Ors v Forsakringsaktiebolaget Fennia Patria [1983] QB 856（芵國上訴法院）。另見 Broker’s slip; Initial public offering; Prospectus; Underwriting commission。 |
