A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “lock-up” refers to a contractual provision that restricts the sale or transfer of securities by certain shareholders for a specified period of time, typically following an initial public offering (IPO) or other significant corporate event. This provision is intended to prevent large shareholders from flooding the market with their shares immediately after an IPO, which could potentially depress the stock price.
Example: After being arrested, the suspect was placed in a lock-up pending further investigation.
