    Solution

    The green shoe option, also known as an over-allotment option, allows companies to intervene in the market during the 30-day stabilisation period following their listing. This intervention involves purchasing equity shares from the market using a company-appointed agent if the share prices fall below the issue price. This mechanism is used to stabilize the share price and ensure a smoother transition for the company's shares in the market after their initial listing.
