Allotment is the process by which people become members of a company. Subscribers agree to take shares on incorporation and the shares are regarded as ‘allotted' to each member on incorporation. Later more people may be addmitted as members of the company and be allotted shares. However, the directors must not allot shares without the authority of the existing shareholders. The authority is either stated in the company's articles of association or given to the directors by resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

In an underwritten public offering, each securities firm in the underwriting syndicate is allocated an allotment of shares to sell. As a practical matter there is very little relationship between the allotment and actual sales. Technically, the agreement among underwriters could force each member of the underwriting syndicate to take its allotment.

In a securities offering, every underwriter will have an authorized number of shares to sell.

Where there is a new offer of shares, either by new issue or otherwise, they are issued on the basis of a prospectus so that shares can be allocated at a fixed price (see: flotation). Where demand for shares exceeds the shares available, allotment is either made on a random or proportional basis. Allocation of these shares is made by means of a letter of allotment. This entitles the recipient to a certain number of shares as stated in this letter subject to payment.

In terms of finance, an allotment is a method of distributing securities to investors when an issue has been oversubscribed. At the end of the subscription period, the demand for a new issue can exceed the number of shares or bonds being issued. In such cases, the underwriting bank allots the securities with the approval of the issuer, either by lottery or on the basis of a formula.
