Abstract

See full text

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.
